Expectations of Project Sites
One person should be designated as point person in assisting with planning - this person should also be available to lead volunteers on Love Lakewood Day. The site lead must have access to buildings/facilities, such as bathrooms, on Love Lakewood Day.
​
Serve Spot will provide water bottles to each project site. The project site may choose to provide donuts, bagels, or other morning snacks.
​
There is an available project budget of $100 per site. This money should be used for supplies needed, such as paint.
​
Project site leads will give a welcoming speech to volunteers explaining:
-
What projects will be completed
-
Clear instructions on how volunteers can start their activities
-
How the project(s) will make an impact on your community
-
Ways volunteers can come back to the site to volunteer in the near future:
-
Have actionable items​
