Yellow Shirts

So who are those knowledgeable, helpful folks in the yellow shirts riding and walking around downtown Columbia? They’re City Center Partnership’s Clean and Safe Ambassadors, but many people just know them as the Yellow Shirts.

Many folks have seen them at the big events – Soda City Market, the Greek and Latin festivals and the Famously Hot New Year’s Eve Bash – but the ambassadors’ visibility is growing right along with the Main Street District as more and more people work here by day and play here by night. And live here, too.

The Yellow Shirts help keep things clean and they help keep people safe – and they know a lot about what to see and do in downtown Columbia – and If they seem to be around all hours of the day and night, it’s because they are. They work from 7:00 am to 11:30 pm on Sunday – Wednesday and 7:00 am – 1:00 am on Thursday – Saturday.  They’ve been on the job since 2002, shuttling people to their cars, helping them find their way, spotting potential problems and just generally being visible and helpful in whatever way they can.
