Volunteer
Volunteers are invited to partner with residents of specific Denver neighborhoods to complete home and neighborhood improvement projects.
A Typical Work Day
Individuals and groups such as churches, companies, families, and schools work together on projects that include graffiti removal, landscaping, painting, yard work, or other needs identified by residents.
Work Days begin at 9am
The location is determined by our neighborhood partner for that day as we move around to the neighborhoods ECM is targeting on different days.
Orientation
An orientation is provided where leaders share the vision for ECM and the partner organization involved that day.
Projects
Then each group splits up into their respective groups and their group leaders give their teams specific instructions about the projects identified on their targeted blocks. Then the work begins, usually around 9:30 am.
Lunch
Lunch is at 12:30 pm, at the same meeting location from earlier in the day, and is a time for volunteers and residents to share a meal and get to know one another.
Wrap Up
After lunch, groups continue working on the projects they started. There is not a set end time (usually around 4:00ish), but the expectation is to complete whatever projects were started so community residents and volunteers feel good about what they accomplished and can see the project completed at the end of the day.
