Volunteer FAQs

We wouldn’t be able to have ¡Viva! Streets without amazing volunteers.

 

On the day of ¡Viva! Streets, we’re looking for volunteers to help with multiple aspects of the event:

  • Answer questions and share information at road closures along the event route

  • Assist DPD officers at traffic crossing points with banners that signal when it’s safe to cross for people walking and biking

  • Sharing information, answering questions, and distributing surveys at an activity hub

​

Thank you for your help to make ¡Viva! Streets a success this summer!
