Get involved beyond the Philly Spring Cleanup!

The City wants to make it as easy as possible for Philadelphians of every age, from every neighborhood, to volunteer! There are opportunities abound to volunteer after the Philly Spring Cleanup. In January 2011, the Mayor's Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteer Service launched serve.phila.gov. This user-friendly website is the perfect place for Philadelphians to find volunteer opportunities that match their skills and interests. It is also an ideal resource for nonprofit organizations, community groups and Block Captains who want to recruit volunteers throughout the year. Please visit the site today, or call 215.686.0317 for more information.

Sincerely,
Keith Warren
Deputy Streets Commissioner
