block captain
Street-level community leader
A block captain is a volunteer who coordinates neighborhood activities or communication for a specific city block or small residential area.
The role typically involves organizing watch programs, distributing information from local authorities, or facilitating community events.
Block captains serve as liaisons between residents and civic organizations, police departments, or homeowner associations.
Our block captain organized a meeting about the recent break-ins.
