Volunteer Courthouse Ambassador Program
A Volunteer Courthouse Ambassador is the first person a courthouse visitor encounters upon entering the courthouse and serves as a guide by welcoming visitors and providing friendly assistance to help make their visit smooth and less stressful. The Ambassador acknowledges and welcomes courthouse visitors, answers questions, provides information, and directs visitors to the proper service window, office, floor, courtroom, or other facility, thus creating an atmosphere that is caring, helpful, and efficient. Our Program is committed to promoting community awareness of, and involvement in, the judicial branch of government.
