Volunteer - Sunday Streets

Dear Volunteers and Friends of Sunday Streets,

SF Environment, San Francisco's Environment Department, is extremely excited to be a part of San Francisco’s first truly car-free event – Sunday Streets. There will be two Sunday Streets events this summer - August 31 and September 14, 2008, utilizing a stretch of roadway connecting the Bayview to Chinatown and running along the city’s waterfront.

Modeled after a 25-year old program in Bogotá, Colombia, the car-free community space concept has spread to four continents and has proven wildly popular from Tokyo (Japan), Mexico City (Mexico) to Kiev (Ukraine) and more recently in our northwesterly neighbor Portland, Oregon. The goal is to bring physical activity space to our neighborhoods on Sunday mornings, creating a route for thousands of local kids and adults to walk, jog, and bike, as well as participate in group exercise. Sunday Streets will offer safe, free, and fun activities and will attract people from throughout the entire San Francisco Bay Area.

This is your opportunity to be a part of a phenomenal event and help us in “greening” San Francisco. We are actively recruiting volunteers for both dates. Volunteers will receive a Sunday Streets T-shirt, meal and snacks as well as a goody bag. We will have additional gifts for those highly dedicated individuals that volunteer for more than one day. Please complete the attached volunteer form and email to: sundaystreets@sfgov.org

Space is limited so please submit form by Monday, August 11th.

We thank you for contributing your time to our home, our city, and our planet!

Peace,

Sunshine Swinford
