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:
