Community Toolkit

Helping Neighborhood Ambassadors and Sustainability Stewards connect, educate, and inspire.

Getting Started

Welcome to the Community Toolkit! Whether you're a Neighborhood Ambassador or Sustainability Steward, you'll find resources, updates, and tools to help you connect and make a positive impact in Cuyahoga Falls. 

What is a Sustainability Steward? A Sustainability Steward is someone who cares about protecting the environment and helping keep our community clean, healthy, and beautiful. Whether it's recycling, caring for green spaces, reducing waste, or volunteering, Stewards lead by example through everyday sustainable actions.
