Volunteer Opportunities with Carefree Sunday

We invite you to join the team of over 100 volunteers who bring Carefree Sunday to the streets of Milwaukie. Our volunteers help keep the streets open for people biking, walking and rolling, while also supporting neighbors who need to get to and from their homes.  Volunteers meet at a central volunteer booth to receive t-shirts, snacks and training, before leaving for an assigned intersection along the route.
