About-Face tables at Sunday Streets San Francisco, 2013
Bay Area folk: Volunteer with us at Sunday Streets — monthly events promoting health and community where the city closes off a major street and everyone comes out to bike, rollerblade, walk, and run. You’ll be talking to the public, encouraging people to step on our Yay Scales, handing out brochures, helping set up/tear down, and having fun. Here are the upcoming Sundays: June 9 (Dogpatch/Bayview), July 7 (Great Highway).
Four-hour shifts available: 10am-2pm and 1pm-5pm >> Contact us to sign up!
