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​
