City ADVOCATES Application Is Live!

Downtown Cleveland Alliance reimagines City Advocates Program. Applications are open for the program aimed at providing participants with Engagement, Education, and Exposure

Downtown Cleveland Alliance (DCA) seeks to assemble a diverse group of impassioned city builders who represent a wide array of interests, professional backgrounds, and relationships to Downtown. The City Advocates program will provide irresistible experiences, cultivate leadership skills, catalyze professional relationships, and deepen civic understanding around growing city centers.

The goal of the City Advocates program is to build a vibrant coalition of Downtown champions who will support DCA’s mission to create an inclusive, 24/7 global city and welcoming beacon of talent that weaves Downtown districts and surrounding neighborhoods into a seamless urban fabric. City Advocates will gain a greater appreciation for our community’s assets and the complexity of the challenges it faces.

As a City Advocate, participants will:

• Meet and learn from Cleveland’s top civic leaders, DCA Board members and staff, as well as a diverse pool of Downtown professionals

• Gain insight into the inner workings of historical and current developments in Downtown Cleveland

• Receive exclusive invitations to events, socials, volunteer opportunities, and behind-the-scenes tours

• Have access and opportunities to participate in and network with DCA Board Committees

Notable programs of past City Advocates include funding Downtown's only playground in North Coast Harbor, The Imagination Playground, utility box wraps, as well as Downtown's Dog park in the Flats.

For more information, please see our website. The application deadline is March 17th.
