Weekend Volunteer Opportunities

There are two volunteer opportunities this weekend!

Road Clean-Up with Alpha Phi Omega (a national co-ed service fraternity at UIS) --Join this UIS service group as they work to clean up a section of road near the UIS campus as part of the City of Springfield's "Springfield Green Adopt-A-Street" program. Transportation to and from the site will be provided. For more information, contact Chris Stanley at cstan2@uis.edu.
This will take place on Saturday, April 19 from 10:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Wednesday, April 24 from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m.

Students from UIS in the Service--Learning course focusing on environmental awareness are working on a storm drain stenciling service project for the City of Springfield. Together with the City of Springfield Public Works and Sustainable Springfield, their goal is to stencil "Drains to Stream - Do NOT Dump!" on the top of storm drains in residential areas around Springfield High Schools. All supplies will be provided. Participants will be split up into groups to physically stencil the storm drains or pass out informative door hangers to the residents of the area. Contact Brian Rusk at rusk.brian@gmail.com by April 17th if you are interested.
