If you'd like to request a specific shift, please select from the following options below.
You may choose multiple shifts as long as they don't overlap.  Thanks!
Street Monitors (60 total needed)
To keep the street “open” we need to keep cars off the street during the event.  Volunteers are needed at most intersections to set up the barricades (first shift only), take down the barricades (last shift only), and make sure no cars turn onto Central Avenue while the street is closed. This is great for people watching or as a fun way to volunteer with a friend.

Roving Ambassadors (30 total needed)
Are you a people person that is comfortable directing bicyclists and walkers?  If so, then the roving ambassador’s position is for you! We need volunteers willing to hand out schedules and administer surveys throughout the day. Very enthusiastic volunteers are also needed to attract people to the event from key points along the route.  
Set-up/Break Down Crew (12 needed total)
This split shift takes place before AND after the event.  You set up the volunteer booth and place barricades on designated streets before the event begins.  You ALSO break down the volunteer booth and remove barricades when the event ends.  Please remember to check back in at the volunteer booth for your late afternoon shift... yes it really is a split shift!  Bring your bike to make set-up and break-down even easier.
Clean-Up Crew (12 needed total)
We want to leave a good impression in the neighborhood and leave no traces behind of the fun had during the event.  Volunteers are needed to help pick up the trash bins and garbage along the route.  We could always use a bit more help at the end of the event as well.  Don't worry, gloves and bags are provided. Volunteers with bike trailers are encouraged to sign up!
Street Painters (12 needed total)
Calling all artists! Open Streets needs volunteers to paint bike lane art and bike boxes on a segment of the route. Volunteers are also needed to chalk up busy roads and intersections to direct pedestrians to Open Streets events. This position will run from 10:00am until we run out of chalk.  Spray chalk or street chalk will be provided.
Roving Photographers (10 desired total)
Are you a professional or aspiring professional photographer with your own camera? We are looking for volunteers with photography skills to capture images from the event. While anyone can and should take photos to document the event, we would love to know who will be out and when. If you plan on taking photos and are willing to share, please consider signing up as a volunteer. The top 5 photos will be featured on the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition and Open Streets websites.
Mystery Shift
You must be available anytime between 10:00am and 4:30pm.  You are the hero for the day that will fill in spots where we need extra help.  No need to complete any of the following specific volunteer shift preferences. You are so flexible!
I can bring a team of volunteers!
If so, approximately how many extra people will be on your team?
Optional Notes
If you'd like to share a volunteer shift with someone, let us know who so we can put you together.  Thanks for volunteering!
