Resident Engagement Opportunities
The Land of Local Love
Are you a Northeast Ohio resident who’s looking for fun ways to promote and boost Cleveland? Now’s your chance to join in thanks to a myriad of opportunities to engage with Destination Cleveland and other local civic organizations on showcasing the very best of our city to out-of-towners, locals, potential visitors and future residents.
Check out the opportunities below to get involved. In the meantime, one of the best ways to get involved is to sign up for “The Land for Life,” a bi-weekly e-newsletter that’ll provide you all sorts of inspiration to explore events, things to do and places to eat and drink in The Land.
Activate Your Commitment to The Land
FACT: visitors want to go where the locals go. So, it may come as no big surprise that travelers to Cleveland often seek recommendations from our residents on things to do; neighborhoods; places to eat and drink; and how to make the most of their time while in The Land.
That's why we've created the Destination Cleveland Local Advocate Group, a group of passionate locals who we'll connect with potential visitors and future residents to share tips, tricks and the inside scoop on visiting and living in The Land.
Inspire Future Residents
Are you a passionate Cleveland super connector eager to share your community knowledge, your network and your friendship with newcomers? We’re looking for a diverse makeup of Clevelanders who reflect our wonderfully inclusive community to serve as Cleveland Talent Alliance Ambassadors.
Ambassadors are locals who help new and potential residents navigate their new home. Ambassadors connect with newcomers to answer questions, share CLE experiences and ensure their transition to The Land is as smooth as possible. As an Ambassador you’ll receive training and support to make sure you have all the tools necessary to welcome new residents to our city. Join us in making Cleveland The Land of warm welcomes.
