Trailnet Street Team (Community Engagement/Outreach)

Save to Favorites

The Trailnet Street Team aims to broaden the presence of Trailnet in the community through tabling and visibility opportunities. The Trailnet Street Team will educate the community about our work through meaningful conversations, smiles and sharing the joy of making our Region better for people to walk, bike and use public transit to get around. Volunteers will also help recruit others to get involved by joining our e-mail list, becoming members, or volunteering themselves.

Street Team volunteers will report to the Membership Coordinator.
