FEATURED VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: LEADERS CLUB LAWN CARE HEROES PROJECT
Give back to neighbors in our community through the YMCA of Greenwich’s Y-Leaders Lawn Care Heroes Project. Volunteers will come together for a day of service to provide fall yard and leaf clean-up for local seniors and YMCA members with disabilities or physical limitations who may need an extra helping hand.
Working in teams alongside Y-Leaders, parents, YMCA staff, members, and community volunteers, participants will be assigned to a local home to assist with raking leaves, removing debris, and general fall yard clean-up. No lawn care experience is necessary—just a willingness to work together and make a difference. Supplies and equipment will be provided by the YMCA.
The service day will take place on a Saturday in November from 9:30 AM–2:00 PM. Volunteers will begin the morning at the YMCA with a light breakfast before forming teams, gathering supplies, and traveling to their assigned homes.
