Take Off Your Coat and Volunteer!

May 2018

Greetings!

We really mean it this month - Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring! It seems like forever since we've been outside without a coat but we've got plenty of opportunities to shed your outer layer this month! If you're ready to dig into spring volunteering - our calendar is full of warm and sunshiney projects. Plant it Forward in New Brunswick and Earth Keepers in Branchbrook Park are just a couple of options that will get you outside and get you back to making a difference. Find out how to put some spring in your step this month here!

We're ready for Jersey Cares Day, are you? The walls are sketched, the supplies are ready - all we need is you!

We need YOU if we are going to have 1,000 volunteers working in Newark and Jersey City on May 5th.

Come paint garden rain barrels and hallway murals at Campus Caretakers in Newark.

Mural Mania is East Orange is exactly what it sounds like - canvas murals, ceiling tile murals and playground games!

At School Makeover in Newark you can paint classrooms, create school spirit murals in the lobby and plant spring flowers.

Check out our full list of projects and register now!

New York Red Bulls Tackle Grover Cleveland State Park

For most people, waking to a rainy forecast calls for a long nap, cozying up to a good book, and longing for the sun to peek out so they can step out and finally enjoy the day. For the New York Red Bulls, however, it was an opportunity to seek out puddles and make a SPLASH volunteering at the Grover Cleveland Park Conservancy in Caldwell!
