Why should you help WALK30 get registrations?

  • To help positively impact the community and encourage a lifestyle change in both yourself and others

  • Get practice in community engagement, speaking to others, and working with a team

  • Promote the values you stand for (sustainability and environmental action, physical and mental health awareness, etc)

  • Gain volunteer credits (high school students)

What do you have to do?

Volunteer shifts are 2 hours long. Dates TBD. We have a variety of roles and tasks available:

  • QR code holder: You will be stationed at a specific location in Burnaby or New West (a transit stop or station, a park, etc) and given a sign with a QR code to the registration link for people to sign up with their phones. 

  • Manual registration: Using paper and pen, get people without phones or who cannot access QR codes to sign up manually. 

  • Engager: You will have the chance to explain the Walk30 Challenge to passersby and encourage them to sign up! Tell people why you are there, what we’re all about, why you’re taking part, etc. You’ll have a chance to chat with people, be friendly, and be passionate! You would need to explain that:

    • Walk30 is a free program

    • Only one email address is needed from registrants (name optional)

    • It is a challenge organized by the City of New Westminster and the City of Burnaby.
