The City of Riverside Parks and Recreation department, is looking for volunteers interested in participating in the beautification of Highland Park at 780 Glenhill St. Riverside CA 92507. The Parks division works to ensure that our community's parks are clean. Come join us pickup trash, paint park benches and safety poles, and do a general cleanup of Highland Park.
All volunteers for all projects will check-in at 8am at the R’ Garden in Lot 30 at UCR to ensure they fill out a waiver, get a t-shirt, grab water and snacks, and check in with their project lead. From there we will all head out to our respective project sites to volunteer from 9:00 am-12pm. Please keep this in mind as all volunteers will be expected to check-in there first, before going to do service.
Things to keep in mind:
Volunteers are asked to wear sturdy and comfortable closed-toe shoes with good traction, long pants that cover the whole leg, and dress in layers in case it is cold. Hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses are recommended. Individuals sensitive to allergies (such as insect bites, pollens, etc.) should bring their medication. All necessary tools/materials will be provided. All volunteers must sign the Project #2 Voluntary Waiver in order to participate. Finally – we are serving our community on this day to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If you are signing up to serve on this day, you are signing up to commit your time and respect to the communities that we are serving. All volunteers are expected to be respectful while volunteering and committed to the work. Unless you have a specific circumstance or emergency, you will be expected to stay the entire time.
