Block captains

Block captains are individuals chosen within a neighborhood or community to serve as a point of contact between residents and local authorities or organizations. Their role involves sharing information, encouraging community participation, and helping coordinate efforts for safety, events, or improvements. They foster communication, build relationships among neighbors, and can assist in organizing responses to issues like emergencies or community projects. Essentially, block captains act as local liaisons, strengthening community engagement and ensuring residents’ needs and concerns are communicated effectively.
