You will be playing a key role, reporting into ActiveTO Presented By Open Streets leadership through radio communication. This position is exclusive to volunteers over the age of 18 and will require a brief interview. A mobility device, such as a bicycle, is necessary.

  

Area Captain 

  • Area Captains play a key role in managing both Ambassadors and Intersection Monitors (please see descriptions below) within a specific portion of the ActiveTO Presented By Open Streets route. You will be responsible for things such as receiving volunteers, giving out resources (e.g. signs, safety equipment, water, tee shirts) and oversight of all volunteers within your "area", as it were. This position is exclusive to volunteers over the age of 18 and will require a brief interview. A mobility device, such as a bicycle, is necessary.

 

 

 

Route Rocket

  • Route Rockets work with Sector Leaders to ensure all volunteers within a portion of the route receive breaks and the resources they need to do their job.

Ambassador

  • Ambassadors are responsible for looking after a hard-closed street to ensure that barricades are not moved and that participants entering the ActiveTO Presented By Open Streets route are welcomed. Ambassadors are the cheerleaders of ActiveTO Presented By Open Streets.  You make the route fun! Bring some music, a chair, a kiddie pool!
