Volunteers Needed for Open Streets Corvallis

[lindsey.almarode]

On Sunday, July 21, from 11 am to 3 pm, a mile of city streets will be closed to motorized traffic between Cloverland Park and Garfield Park (see this year’s route map), so that people can use them for walking, rolling, dancing, playing, and socializing. Activity hubs along the route will include local food and drink, live music, giant-sized games, and more. Neighbors, community organizations, and businesses will host interactive activities.

The success of Open Streets depends on volunteers – people like you who offer to help for a couple of hours to make the festival happen. In return, volunteers get a free t-shirt, coffee and pastries, tamales, and a voucher for Go Giddy Pops. We especially need people to serve as Intersection Superheroes to make the event fun and safe by:

·        Answering questions and handing out event maps

·        Redirecting most cars

·        Escorting (walking) local residents driving their cars to/from their homes

Visit our volunteer page to sign up for a specific location and time.

Thank you in advance for your help!
