Hello Open Streeters!
Charlotte’s next Open Streets 704 event is coming up very soon – Sunday, October 23rd. We saw 10,000 people come out for our first event in May. We’ve got a fantastic new route for this event – running from West End through Uptown into SouthEnd – and we’re expecting even more folks to come out and enjoy Open Streets 704! We need lots of volunteers to help us make this another big success. If you’re willing and able to volunteer, please contact our volunteer coordinator Lori Saylor at Lori....@mecklenburgcountync.gov. See details below for the kinds of things our volunteers will do.
Volunteer Opportunities
Date: Sunday, October 23, 2016
Volunteer shifts: 11am – 5:30pm (Volunteers will meet at 11am at Romare Bearden Park (corner of Mint and 3rd) to be trained, get their location assignment, and receive their materials and their Tee Shirts.)
1. Intersection Superheroes!
These volunteers will be in charge of welcoming participants to the event, answering questions, offering directions and keeping an eye on adjacent driveways and parking deck entrances. In the event that a car exits onto the route, Intersection Superheroes will help direct cars to proceed slowly and safely to the nearest route exit and/or CMPD officer. Please bring a folding chair, water, sunscreen, and an umbrella (if the weather looks threatening). You will be provided with a route map and a brief training to help guide participants.
2. Survey Takers:
We need Volunteers to assist with surveys and attendance counts. We will place groups of three people each along the route.
We need Volunteers who can stand on their feet for the duration of the event, who are friendly and engaging and love talking to people!
3. Information Stations:
We’ll need one volunteer to work at each of the tents located in our 4 activity zones. Duties at the tent will include helping with B-cycle rentals and bike valet service, passing out information and selling our AWESOME Open Streets 704 gear. Our 4 zones are Family, Wellness, Green, Art/Science; we’ll have approximately 3 tents in each Zone.
4. Zone Captains:
We will have 4 zones; Family, Wellness, Green, and Art/Science. We need two Volunteers in each zone to help set up and take down activities, give out water, answer questions and to roam the route in their zone. We want Volunteers who are uplifting and friendly. We’re asking these Volunteers to help engage people in the activities. These Volunteers must be able to stand on their feet and walk the Zone.
I hope to see you on October 23rd. Please feel free to bring children, pets, friends, and family!
