Groups of ~10-15 can volunteer at their local New Roots farm in Seattle, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, Dallas, Phoenix, Tucson, NYC, Charlottesville, Atlanta, Denver, and Salt Lake City (pending their needs and availability).

These IRC agricultural sites provide people with the opportunity to grow their own food and reconnect with their cultural heritage. Our farm-based job readiness programs improve transferable skills and rebuild livelihoods through hands-on practice, links to professional contacts, and gainful employment opportunities. 

Volunteer days typically include a brief IRC orientation, a tour of the farm, and gardening demonstrations. Tasks vary daily but may include weeding, planting, watering, mulching, and clean-up. A typical workday is a couple of hours, and all group members are expected to participate for the entirety of their scheduled shift, taking breaks at their discretion. Every farm’s season is dependent on local weather patterns.

All tools and gloves are provided; volunteers are expected to wear closed-toe shoes and clothing they don’t mind getting dirty. In the event of a weather cancellation, the New Roots team will do their best to reschedule based on their needs and availability.

A $5,000 donation to the implementing IRC office is typically requested to support the operating costs of the farm such as tools, plants, seeds, mulch, fertilizer, staff time, and transportation.

Community Cleanups are a litter reduction program established by Keep Smyrna Beautiful in the summer of 2020. They are targeted cleanups along roadways and other areas in Smyrna that are designed to combat and reduce litter. Cleanups take place 2-3 times each month on different days and different times for an hour and a half in order to allow community members with a variety of schedules to be able to attend and lend a hand.

Adopt-a-Mile groups commit to cleaning up their adopted mile of roadway at least four times a year. Keep Smyrna Beautiful schedules events throughout the year, but groups are also free to schedule for days/times that work best for them.

To learn more about Adopt-a-Mile and how your group can participate, visit https://keepsmyrnabeautiful.com/adopt-a-mile/

The Great American Cleanup is the nation’s largest community improvement program that Fort Wayne has participated in for over 30 years. It is a time when we can show our community pride by lending a hand to clean up littered roadsides, parks, trails and river ways.

A clean city makes a difference: It looks better to residents and visitors, and improves the overall quality of life. Litter, graffiti, unkempt parks and trails, and scattered debris create unsightly areas that would give visitors the wrong impression. Through the work of volunteers, we can come together and show how much we care about Fort Wayne’s neighborhoods and public spaces.

The City provides groups with garbage bags, gloves, and T-shirts. After the work is done, a volunteer celebration with food, drinks, prizes and live entertainment is held at Headwaters West from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Getting involved is easy - groups as well as individuals are encouraged to participate. All you need to do is select an area in the community that you would like to beautify and sign up. The City can also provide you with a location to clean if you do not have one. Volunteers can begin their cleanup anytime during the day. Most groups elect to begin at 8AM and clean for several hours. Groups that cannot do their cleanup on Saturday can select a different day as long as it is within the same week. After you complete your cleanup you will need to submit the results of your cleanup. This helps us track our success!
