Volunteer YPN - May 518 Day Community Celebration: United Way of the Greater Capital Region

Description

Let’s Participate in United Way’s 518 Day: The Largest Community Celebration!

United Way’s 518 Day provides opportunities for individuals, families, and groups to be a part of solutions to building a more resilient Capital Region through volunteerism and community impact. This year YPN will participate in 518 Day with The South End Children's Cafe and we need your help!

The South End Children's Cafe is thrilled to announce that they are the proud new owners of 33 Rensselaer Street! As they embark on this exciting journey, YPN is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join us in some initial cleanup tasks to prepare the space for its transformation. Get a sneak peek of the new building while pitching in with tasks like weeding, ripping up carpeting, painting walls, raking, and beautifying the outdoor space. Your support will make a huge difference as they embark on this exciting new chapter!

- Ability to perform physical tasks such as weeding, ripping up carpeting, painting walls, and raking.
- Experience with manual labor and maintenance work is a plus but not required.
- Team player with excellent communication skills and a positive attitude.
- Willingness to follow instructions and work collaboratively with other volunteers.
- Enthusiasm for contributing to the beautification of community spaces and making a tangible difference in the local area.

Dress to be comfortable and get messy! Closed toe shoes are a must!
