SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, CIVIC GROUPS, & FRIENDS

Groups of up to 100 people can attend once or as often as you would like to volunteer.

Every adult must register separately. Everyone under age 17 must be registered by a parent or guardian.

Yes to both - as long as a designated adult is present in a 1:10 ratio for youth or a 1:5 ratio for children for the entire event.

Yes, you may do your community service hours for school, juvenile justice, civic or other purposes so long as our site has been approved by your organization. Ask your teacher, court officer, or primary contact whether this activity will count towards your hours. Bring a form from your agency for our staff to sign. Let the lead staff member know that you are seeking a signature for proof of hours before the event starts on the day of the event, so that staff member knows you were present. You will only receive a staff signature for hours that you were present.

These events are free and open to the public.

Dress in layers prepared to get dirty and sweaty. Bring a bottle of water and a snack so that you stay hydrated. There are many bodegas, cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets with delicious food and beverage for you to choose.

You will be provided with gloves and tools for the duration of the event. All materials must be returned at the end before you leave.

We prefer that everyone who can register online does so in advance of the event.

In our experience, most parents have phones and can use them to register their children online or they can utilize a computer at your school or agency to register their child. If you are bringing a youth group and require paper copies, we can send you a PDF to copy and distribute to parents.
