Block leaders wanted
Cupertino is inviting residents who are passionate about public safety and their neighborhoods to volunteer as block leaders, with the goal of connecting neighbors and building a sense of community. Block leaders also let their neighbors know what’s going on around the city, all in an effort to help create a more resilient community.
Block leaders attend program meetings to get to know their fellow volunteers and help hold community events, which can be as simple as meeting in the park or a nearby coffee shop.
The city is holding a block leader orientation May 18 to discuss best practices, program expectations, and available resources, as well as potential topics for gatherings and solutions to common questions and concerns.
The orientation is set for 10-11 a.m. at Cupertino City Hall, 10300 Torre Ave. Register at https://events.californiavolunteers.ca.gov/opportunities/rG95v9wKPC.
