What will your team’s Earth Day project be? The surprise is part of the fun! When you register, you let us know what your team is ready for—whether it’s moving boulders, volunteering in the shade of air conditioning, or something in between.
Join us for a 30-minute virtual call where we’ll unveil the community projects your team can get involved in, the nonprofit you’ll be matched with for the Volunteer Challenge, and have matches meet to learn more about the organization and volunteer need.
From building pollinator gardens to clearing invasive plants, recycling bike parts, and tidying up trails, there’s a project for every interest and skill set!
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 dive into a meaningful project. You’ll collaborate, problem-solve, and roll up your sleeves to complete the 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 some special Earth Day awards.
Judging – Each location will have a panel of judges that will make visits to project sites to get to know the team and witness their impact to help determine awards that will presented at the Lunch Celebration.
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, stay for the connections, and leave inspired!
