Volunteer at Streets Alive! Outdoors        

Streets Alive is a great opportunity to give back to your community - besides, it's fun!  Sign up on your own or bond as a group with friends, family, co-workers, or church members.  Whether you'd like to sign up for an hour or for the day, you'll have great time. All event volunteers will receive a free t-shirt to wear the day of the event. The Streets Alive! has been an outdoor festival nine out of the last 10 years.  Our 2020 Streets Alive! event moved online to protect community health, but returned to an outdoor event in 2021.  The 2023 Streets Alive! festival was September 24, co-hosted by the University Place neighborhood. Questions about volunteering at Streets Alive?

Below are some of the volunteer opportunities.  Volunteers will find parking and street closing information on our FAQ page.  

 
Set-up Crew
So much to do before the event! Help set up tables, chairs, information booths and stages. Assist with placement of signage. Moderate lifting will be involved.

Exhibitor Assistants
Assist exhibitors in finding their tables and getting set up. You may be asked to move barricades to allow access to the route for set-up and/or assist in carrying exhibitor materials to their tables. (within 1 block)

Safety Monitors
Monitor pedestrian safety at crosswalks, and child safety at the bounce houses

Information Booths
Be the hot spot at one of our 5 information booths to assist exhibitors, entertainers, and participants in finding their way. You'll also be an access point for anyone to reach one of the event producers if needed.

Runners
Check in with information booths & exhibitors along the route to determine needs. You may be asked to distribute water, materials, etc. You will need a bike and helmet. A bike trailer may be helpful to carry materials, but is not required.
