Opportunity:

Children's Harbor - Back to School Project! (PORTSMOUTH Location)

Description

Portsmouth (Olde Towne) Location: Each year, we rely heavily on our Day of Caring volunteer agencies to help us with much needed deep cleaning and grounds beautification projects.  As a non-profit organization with limited resources, we are better able to carry out the important work of providing an essential service to children and families by hosting volunteer organizations such as yours!  We also employ a notoriously overworked, underpaid and under-appreciated population of Early Childhood workers - all of whom will be so GRATEFUL for the help in and around their classrooms!


 


Portsmouth's Project List: Organize closets, art supplies, shed; paint school-age classroom; cot/furniture deep clean; activity bus washing; landscaping; window washing; small painting projects; planting; outdoor water fountain repair; parking lot/pothole repair; etc

Volunteer Should Provide
We ask that our volunteers come safely equipped to work throughout the day on the specific tasks we have planned.  Items that volunteers may want to have on hand for their comfort and safety: sunscreen (much of the project could be held outdoors), hat, sunglasses, your own personal gardening and/or cleaning gloves, comfortable shoes and attire.  Additionally, bringing extra gardening/yard hand tools, trimmers, weedeaters, blowers, and power washers would be a tremendous help to the project! We also invite our volunteer groups to contribute materials to the project as able. Some items might include additional or specific cleaning supplies, gardening plants, and/or other project-based items based on the project list at this site and the overall volunteer skill level.
Agency Will Provide
We will provide light morning refreshments, water bottles throughout the day, a prepared or catered lunch, and the basic supplies for the projects listed (this could include: various cleaning agents, buckets, rags, brushes, painting supplies, mulch, rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, etc).
