The Active Transportation Alliance needs tabling volunteers for our booth at the NBC5 Healthy Living Fair this weekend at Navy Pier. Help us promote the organization’s new name and inclusive mission through pitching membership and our signature, bicycle event the Bank of America Bike the Drive.
The Healthy Living Fair has great exhibitors and plenty of TV personalities with whom you can rub elbows. Volunteers can sign up for two-hour shifts:
Saturday, March 21: 9:30—11:30am, 11:30am—1:30pm, 1:30—3:30pm, and 3:30—5:30pm.
Sunday, March 22: 10:30am—12:30pm, 12:30pm—2:30pm, and 2:30pm—4:30pm
Volunteers will receive a complimentary Bank of America Bike the Drive or other snazzy event t-shirt.
If you’re interested or have questions, contact jody@activetrans.org.
Also, if you're interested in learning more about working outreach at this and other various events and locations, we'd love to see you at one of our outreach training classes:
