Fun Volunteer Opportunity
Join our Water Street Pop-Up
For two months this summer we’re hosting a yello public space on Water Street dedicated to spontaneous connection and conversation. To make this happen we’re recruiting 200 volunteers to be volunteer facilitators. That’s a fancy way of saying you’ll be friendly and chat with people who walk by!

This Year's Location
Our first pop-up in Kits was a resounding success. This year we’re back and better than ever—with a longer activation, more teammates, and in one of the most iconic parts of our city!
This July and August, the City will transform Water Street into a vibrant pedestrian zone with public seating, local Nations art installations, expanded patios, community activations and more.
​
During the pilot, sections of Water Street and Maple Tree Square will be closed to vehicles to allow visitors a safe and comfortable environment to enjoy the neighbourhood, take in performances, shop, and dine in the heart of Gastown.
Volunteer Requirements
To volunteer with Hello Yello, we need a few small commitments from you:
1. Attend a 1-hour volunteer training session (& afterparty) in June or July
2. Sign up for at least three 1-hour shifts in our space in Gastown (these can be consecutive hours, or spread out over the summer!)
3. Have a passion for people, community, and our city!
Are you ready to make a difference & meet some awesome, passionate people in our city?
