Volunteer Work Day
Monthly Neighborhood Volunteer Work Day The Neighborhood Volunteer Work Day has been developed to encourage pride and participation in caring for your local neighborhood parks and to educate youth about environmental stewardship. Each month, a different park is chosen for neighbors to turn out and perform volunteer activities. Activities may include: education about litter prevention, naming of trees, plants, insects, or birds; constructing trashcan stands; painting; or even planting flowers. These activities are then logged along with the City’s many other yearly beautification and volunteer events with our grant applications through Keep Texas Beautiful.
Our work day then is not just a litter pick-up, recycling, or beautification event, but an overall effort to clean, maintain, create, and improve our parks using local neighbors to the park as the driving force. Along the way, we hope you will learn and spread the word about taking care of the environment and more specifically, that piece of nature that is closest to you: your neighborhood park.
Events will be held the first Saturday of every month. Along with residents, the City may provide volunteers from boards and commissions such as Keep Lake Jackson Beautiful, or the Youth Advisory Commission, as well as providing two paid employees at each event for safety, security, and supplies.
