Downtown Boulder Block Captain Program
The Downtown Boulder Partnership has developed a Block Captain Program consisting of member business or property owners, managers, or employees that volunteer their time to connect with businesses in a designated block. It takes a village, and we are grateful for these community leaders!
Interested in joining our team of captains?
The time commitment is approximately 2 hours a month and the rewards are endless.
We are looking for captains and co-captains to connect with different blocks throughout downtown.

Why did you volunteer to be a captain?
"I took on the role of block captain to connect with fellow businesses in the area. The West End has a fantastic community vibe, and I’m excited to nurture and encourage mutual support and promotion among local businesses. Building a strong sense of community is important to me because when each of us succeeds, we all thrive!"

What is your favorite view?
"The view from my salon out on to Pearl is my favorite. You can see the hustle and bustle and feel the energy of the people on Pearl. It’s beautiful every season but fall it’s the most beautiful. With changing leaves and coffee in hand."

When did you start working downtown? Share your first memories.
"I opened my shop in January of 2015 and it was a big undertaking for me. What helped me immensely was meeting my neighboring business owners and learning about the ebbs and flows of business in downtown Boulder. Pearl Street is such a fun place to do business - to this day, I feel pride and excitement about working in beautiful Downtown Boulder!"

1900 & 2000 block | 8z Real Estate
Why did you volunteer to be a captain, and what are your first memories of downtown?
"I volunteered to be a block captain because I have a deep connection to Downtown Boulder. I've been in Boulder since moving from Central California in 2010 and have always shown up somewhere along Pearl!
My first memories of Downtown Boulder are from 2010 when I moved to CO and started working the door at a college bar on the Hill. My friend group would walk down to Pearl and visit old staples like West End, The Pub, Boulder Cafe, The Walrus, and The Med. My wife and my date spots began to materialize at Jax, Hapa, Japango and more. I played music several times at the old Lazy Dog and Kitchen Next Door. These cherished memories and more make it an honor to serve as a block captain for DBP!."
