Mayor Hardie Davis is pleased to announce the 2020 Census Teen Ambassador Program. The Teen Ambassador program is a 6-week program that will allow teenagers residing in Augusta-Richmond County to get engaged in the 2020 Census process. Teen Ambassadors will assist with outreach efforts to increase Census participation across Augusta-Richmond County. Outreach efforts will include phone calls, social media, audio/video recordings, printed collateral drops and more. Teen Ambassadors will receive $10 per hour for up to 20 hours per week and will be paid from 2020 Census funds.

“We are excited about the opportunity to employ and involve young people in the Census process. Youth engagement and involvement allows them to see first hand how the Census impacts various aspects of Augusta-Richmond County. Teen Ambassadors will also be able to increase their understanding of the importance of a complete count for the Census. Our entire community benefits when we include young, creative minds to strategize and mobilize around innovative ways to support the Augusta community. We look forward to bringing our Teen Ambassadors on board to assist with our 2020 Census outreach efforts.”
