What will your team’s Earth Day project be? The surprise is part of the fun!
When you register, tell us what your team is ready for—whether it’s moving boulders, painting picnic tables in the shade, or something in between. When you register for Mission Reveal, we’ll give you a hint about your match and you can get introduced to all the nonprofit hosts in your area. You’ll want to study up for a chance to win our guess-the-matches and trivia prizes at Mission Reveal!
Mission Reveal is a 45-minute virtual call where you’ll meet other teams, compete for trivia prizes, find out your nonprofit match for the Volunteer Challenge, and have a breakout session to connect you with your nonprofit to learn about their mission and your project.
Gather your team and get ready for an unforgettable day of hands-on action!
Teams will arrive at their project sites eager to dive in, where they’ll learn about the nonprofit’s mission, discover the real-world impact of their work, and complete a meaningful project together.
But that’s not all—Judges will be visiting each site to chat with volunteers, get in on the fun, and help decide who takes home special Earth Day awards.
After a morning hard at work, it’s time to come together and celebrate!
Teams will gather for a delicious lunch, joining other volunteers and nonprofits to reflect on the impressive work accomplished. This is your chance to share stories, connect with like-minded folks, and learn about even more incredible organizations making a difference in your community.
Plus, we’ll announce the well-deserved Earth Day Events Awards! It’s the perfect opportunity to unwind, network, and celebrate the power of collective action. Come for the food and drink, stay for the connections, and leave inspired!
