As a Set Up Crew member, you’ll help with various set up tasks such as tent/table set up, directing vendors to their spots, and placing materials along the route. This position does not require a bike. 

Ambassadors help create a welcoming and engaging space for attendees. Volunteers will answer questions, communicate with Our Streets staff with issues or concerns, count event goers at specific times and help with miscellaneous tasks.

As an Eco Friend, you will help us keep the route clean and welcoming by picking up any trash and recycling that may be present. You’ll also communicate with Our Streets staff about any concerns such as an overflowing bin. We provide trash grabbers, bags, and other supplies.
