The Gilman District Street Fair is Looking for Volunteers
will take place on Sunday, April 26, 2026 from 10am – 5pm, come rain or shine
The Gilman District Street Fair organizing committee is seeking volunteers to assist with our 4th annual event. The last three Street Fair events were a tremendous success, and this year’s event promises to be even bigger and better. And we could use your help!
The event location is in the heart of Berkeley’s wine block. We will be closing off one block of Fourth and Fifth Streets between Gilman and Camelia Streets, and three blocks of Camelia Street, between Trumer Pilsner and Sixth Street. We plan to have plenty of booths spanning local businesses and organizations, artists, and food trucks.
We are looking for volunteers to assist the organizing committee the day of the event, starting at 7:30am and ending around 6:30pm. We are hoping for a 2-2.5 hour commitment from each volunteer. Volunteers will get a free T-shirt and a coupon for a special treat from one of the Gilman District’s establishments. The range of responsibilities will include:
● Checking in vendors and directing them to their assigned location
● Helping to set up booths and stages
● Assisting with vendor and food truck needs
● Directing traffic away from closed off streets
● Assisting with the flow of performances
● Communicating with organizers to ensure smooth running of the day
● Assisting with breakdown of the event
Please go to https://www.gilmandistrict.org/gilmandistrictstreetfair and click the volunteer link to sign up! Come join us for a fun day!
Cheers,
Sue Rodgerson

Notification of Non-Discrimination Policy
The Berkeley Unified School District is committed to providing a hostile-free working and learning environment. The District prohibits discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, based on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding/lactation status (related medical conditions), religion, color, national origin (including language restrictions and possession of a driver’s license (issued under Vehicle Code), ancestry, immigration status, physical or mental disability (including clinical depression and bipolar disorder, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, epilepsy, seizure disorder, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and heart attack), medical condition (cancer-related and genetic characteristics), military and veteran status, marital status, registered domestic partner status, age (40 and above), genetic information, political belief or affiliation (unless union related), a person’s association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local law, ordinance, or regulation in any program or activity it conducts or to which it provides significant assistance.
Discrimination is different treatment based on a protected characteristic in the context of an educational program, work or activity without a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason that interferes with or limits the individual’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or privileges provided by the District or includes an adverse employment action.
Hostile environment harassment occurs when a target is subjected to unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic, which is both subjectively offensive to the target and would be offensive to a reasonable person of similar circumstances/characteristics and is sufficiently so severe, and so pervasive to interfere with or limit an individual’s ability to effectively work or to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or opportunities offered by the District. Harassment may take many forms, including but not limited to, verbal remarks and name-calling, graphic and written statements, or any conduct that may be threatening or humiliating. Harassment based on any of the above protected categories is a form of unlawful discrimination and will not be tolerated by the District and can result in disciplinary action against the offending student or employee.
Upon witnessing an act of discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, based on actual or perceived protected characteristics, school personnel are required to take immediate steps to intervene when it is safe to do so. Once a school/office has expressed notice or reason to know of such conduct, whether carried out by employees, students, or third parties, it should take immediate and appropriate steps to investigate, determine what occurred, take prompt and effective steps reasonably calculated to end the conduct, eliminate a hostile environment, if one has been created and prevent the conduct from occurring again. These steps should be taken regardless of whether an individual makes a complaint or asks the school/office to take action. Complaints are protected from retaliation. The District prohibits retaliation against any person who files a complaint or an appeal, reports instances of noncompliance, discrimination, harassment, bullying, and intimidation, or who participates in the complaint-filing or investigation process. This nondiscriminatory policy applies to all acts related to school activity or school attendance within any school/office under the jurisdiction of the Berkeley Unified School District.
For more information, or to file a complaint please contact:District Title IX Coordinator/Compliance Officer Berkeley Unified School District, 2020 Bonar Street, Room 117, Berkeley CA 94702 Phone: (510) 486-9338; Email: complaints@berkeley.net
