A Call for Car Free Day Volunteers!
Car Free Day is looking for you. We are currently seeking a diverse group of individuals who are enthusiastic about transportation issues and are interested in donating a portion of their time to volunteering for Car Free Day. This is your chance to make a hands-on contribution to an international festival about transportation alternatives! Before you raise your hand to volunteer, we realize that you may have some questions:
What’s in it for me?
· First and foremost, volunteering with Car Free Day is an opportunity to contribute to an event aimed at raising awareness about transportation alternatives and encouraging people to reduce their energy consumption both on the road and at home. Car Free Day is a worldwide celebration involving 1500 cities around the globe.
· All Car Free Day Volunteers receive a slick ‘One Day’ T-shirt.
· Each volunteer will receive a letter acknowledging his or her contribution to the Car Free Day celebration.
· You will receive detailed instructions about what your duties will be and whom you will be working with.
· Volunteers will automatically be entered into the prize draws that will be happening all day on the main stage.
· If you volunteer on September 22, you will have access to the Volunteer Appreciation
Tent. Here you will receive a complimentary drink and snack and be able to chat with other friendly Car Free Day volunteers.
· Lead Volunteers and Special Projects Volunteers will receive a special certificate of participation, a gift package and additional perks throughout the day!
· You’ll have first crack at all the Car Free Day festivities!
What kind of commitment are you looking for?
· Volunteers are asked to donate their time in blocks of 4 hours. You can fill one shift or as many as you like!
· There are three time blocks on September 22 – 8am-12pm, 12pm-4pm & 4pm-8pm
· You can volunteer before Car Free Day as well! In order to accommodate Car Free Day keeners and those who would like to volunteer but cannot come on September 22, there will be a number of shifts throughout the month of September prior to Care Free Day.
· If you have stage crew experience, we need you! There are 8 positions available to work with the stage and the entertainment.
· If you are interested in filling a Volunteer Lead role or taking on a Special Projects position, please indicate this when you write us and we will send you an information sheet about these very rewarding volunteer opportunities. You will receive special perks throughout and a special certificate of participation honoring your work with Car Free Day.
If you would like to volunteer please write to Sean Elbe, our volunteer coordinator, briefly indicating why you would like to volunteer and in what capacity:
