Volunteer

Each year volunteers play an important role in making Open Streets Corvallis successful. Volunteers help set-up, keep people hydrated, manage intersections, and more! Prior to the event, volunteers help with outreach and planning.

If you’re interested in helping out with the planning process for Open Streets 2024, please contact us. If you want us to contact you when volunteer sign-ups go live, fill out our volunteer interest form!
