Neighborhood Outreach is an important part of the planning process and is how we get the word out to the communities for which we serve. Livable City needs your help with door hanging and pole flyering for the new season in each neighborhood we will be activating a Sunday Streets program.
This task is a self-lead shift to place flyers on poles throughout the neighborhood and door hangers on local residences surrounding Sunday Streets locations. Neighborhood Outreach can be scheduled at any time beginning May 1st.
Email [email protected] with the days and times you’re available to do outreach. We’ll reply via email or phone call to schedule a time to meet to hand off the marketing materials as well as confirm the route of your distribution.
Join us for the Sunday Streets SF 2025 Season kick-off on June 23rd in the Tenderloin neighborhood as we celebrate 17 years of transforming miles of city streets into car-free community spaces for kids to play, seniors to stroll, businesses and organizations to connect, and neighbors to meet.

All Event-Day Volunteers are REQUIRED to attend a virtual orientation before their first shift at Sunday Streets for the 2025 season; even if they have attended an orientation in previous years.
On the day of the event, volunteers should be prepared to receive a 15-20 minute orientation to receive updates and review the safety protocols at the start of their shift. To help us best prepare for this day please arrive early if not on time!
Most volunteer shifts are 3-4 hours and take place during the week and weekends leading up to an event and during event-day. Group shifts are either 4 or 6 hours depending on event needs and group availability.
All ages are welcome, however some supervision requirements apply for minors.
All volunteers under 18 years old — must have a parent/guardian sign a waiver.
All volunteers under 16 years old — must be accompanied by an adult at no less than a 3 to 1 ratio of guardians to youth.
There is limited parking available in San Francisco, and all volunteers are encouraged to take public transit to the event whenever possible. There will be absolutely no parking available on site within nor outside of the street closure footprint. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
If you have accessibility needs and require special arrangements, please send an email to [email protected] as soon as possible so that we can try to accommodate your request.
If you have an issue on the day of the event, please call Reina Terry at 415-504-2901.
We care deeply about the health and well-being of our volunteers. Volunteers are encouraged to exercise their best judgment and caution whilst volunteering with the Sunday Streets SF Production Team. Please wear a mask if you are most comfortable doing so but note that masks are not mandatory.
All volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes, preferably ones that are non-skid and have some ankle support especially if your position is required to set up & breakdown equipment. Volunteers are encouraged to dress comfortably in breathable, multi-layers of clothing in order to be able to adjust to the climate changes throughout the day.
Volunteers do not need to bring anything other than themselves and appropriate footwear and clothing. If you have safety gear such as work gloves, we strongly suggest you bring them for your personal use.
Volunteers who have signed up for a shift that is four hours or longer will be invited to take a break as per labor laws in California. If your shift is less than 4 hours long, but you would like to take a brief break, please do so! All we ask is that you alert the team captain you are working with.
The majority of volunteers will be fed at the end of their shift. However, volunteers who are donating their time for the entire day (7+ hours) will be allocated time to have lunch during their shift.
Those who have expressed a dietary restriction/preference will be able to pick up a meal based on those preferences.
Volunteers will be able to leave their stuff in a particular area but we cannot be responsible for items onsite. We suggest packing very light and keeping your personal valuables with you.
Please check in with the security guard at the front gate or onsite staff at the checkin booth and notify them that you are a volunteer. You will be given instructions from that point as to where to go.
