Project Clean

We gather volunteers to join forces with various groups, organizations and events all over the city to work towards a cleaner and more viable Detroit.

Project Clean on the far east side with the Greening of Detroit!

Join Project Clean and DSG Shares on Saturday, November 7th at 9am,  as we help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Greening of Detroit! This autumn, with a generous grant from the Cotton family, the Greening of Detroit are planting 135 trees along East Jefferson Avenue, between I-375 and Alter Rd, over a four week period. This is where DSG Shares and Project Clean come in --- they can use as many volunteers as we can get to plant trees along Jefferson on November 7th. We had a great time doing it as a joint event last year and will certainly have fun helping again. Bring your friends or family!

What to wear: As always, please dress according to the weather and that it's something you don't mind getting dirty. Gloves and sturdy work or hiking boots are recommended. We plant rain or shine, but we'll hope for the shine bit.

What will be Provided: Water and all the necessary tools will be provided by Greening of Detroit.

If you can, please bring: bring your own gloves and snack.. 

Directions: Please meet at the corner of East Jefferson Ave. at Chalmers

If you have any questions or want to volunteer, please email Mike at clean@detroitsynergy.org

Want to Help Out More with Project Clean

than Just Volunteering at an Event?

We are looking for people to be Event Leads, and it's a lot easier than you might think! These volunteers would take on responsibilities of coordinating an event, which includes (but may not be limited to):

1. Gathering information on an organization and/or event.
2. Making contact with volunteer coordinator of organization/event and scheduling a work date and location.
3. Advertising for event by collecting info for the DSG website and emails.
4. Recruiting volunteers.
5. Being the point person the day of the event.

If this is something you are interested in, please contact Jen at clean@detroitsynergy.org
