There are many opportunities for individuals to corporate teams to volunteer for Clean the D.  Persons interested in volunteering don’t need a green thumb or an artists eye, just the passion to make a difference in their community. Help us reach our goal of 500 volunteers this year giving 1,500 hours of their time to making Metro Detroit a better place to live, work and play!

 

Sponsorship Opportunities:

This beautification program not only encourages volunteerism in the communities it services, but assists in filling the gap where municipalities have had to cut back funding in department of public works budgets.
