At the Neighborhood Scale
- Think. Do you have time you’d like to donate to a cause that interests you? Could your neighborhood use help from a team of volunteers?
- Plan. Identify your neighborhoods needs. Determine what can be accomplished by mobilizing residents and what activities would be helpful to have volunteers contribute. Consider ways the neighborhood might be able to volunteer for other projects that contribute to improving the neighborhood.
- Act. Set up an event that will require extra volunteers. Publicize the opportunity and make sure things are organized for volunteers to jump in and contribute on volunteer day. Contact volunteer groups the neighborhood is interested in collaborating with and recruit residents to particpate in any activities.
- Maintain. Maintain a good relationship with the groups that come into the neighborhood to volunteer and groups the neighborhood volunteers with. These relationships could be utilized for multiple years.
Go Beyond.
- See the art and cultural directories for groups to get involved with and invite to your neighborhood.
- Utilize United Way’s educational resources about how to manage volunteers.
- Strengthen neighborhood groups to support and advocate for neighborhood-wide needs.
