Sunday Streets creates miles of car-free streets for San Francisco residents and visitors to get out and be active in diverse San Francisco neighborhoods. Founded in 2008, Sunday Streets has grown into one of San Francisco's most exciting initiatives, promoting biking, walking, recreation, and community-building.

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) co-presents Sunday Streets with Livable City, the non-profit partner responsible for day to day management of the program. Livable City has a small but dedicated full-time staff, augmented by passionate volunteers.

Position Overview

Event Staff will assist with site set-up and breakdown of the Sunday Streets route and information booths at all eight events. During event hours, they will support Sunday Street Staff and lead volunteers staffing the event, conducting outreach, selling merchandise, and collecting data. Event Staff interact directly with staff and volunteers during the event, and represent Sunday Streets when answering any questions from participants. Event Staff are temporary employees used on a per event basis.

The 2015 Sunday Streets season will consist of 8 events, one Sunday each month between March and October (usually the 2nd Sunday of the month, with 2 exceptions). Event locations vary each month, each in a different neighborhood around the city of San Francisco.
