Community Clean-Up
What is Community Clean-Up?
Our mission is to build relationships and share our love of Jesus Christ through providing weekly service in the community. Some examples of activities include: cleaning parks, making trails, painting, weeding, and planting foliage. When the weather is not conducive for outdoor projects we help clean, paint, or set up for community events at local libraries, childcare facilities, or other community buildings. The projects are a great way to start your Saturdays and get a break from studying while doing something for others. Bring a friend and make new ones each Saturday. Feel free to come whenever you can!

Service Project Idea?
If you're interested in proposing a service project, contact the Program Directors at communitycleanup@byu.edu. We enjoy working with classes, clubs, and other Y-Serve groups. It is best to contact one of the Program Directors two weeks prior to the Saturday you want to hold the service activity to coordinate a combined project.
BECOME A LEADER
Leaders for this program are required to attend a meeting on Tuesdays at 2pm.
Volunteer Leader Description: There are two kinds of leadership positions: Lead Program Director and Program Director. A program only has one Lead Program Director, but multiple Program Directors. Leaders are generally responsible for overseeing recruitment, retention, and reflection with volunteers. They also coordinate service with community partners and ensure their program runs smoothly. Volunteer leaders may also share the responsibilities of volunteers as outlined in the Volunteer Description. For more information, visit our section called Be a Leader!
Volunteer Leader Commitment: In addition to volunteering, Volunteer leaders commit to a 1-hour monthly team meeting to discuss needs and make plans for the program.

When I first went to Community Clean-Up, it was a very cold day and I hadn't gotten a lot of sleep the night before, so I wasn't really in the serving spirit. But when I got there, I met the sweetest person. She was a fellow volunteer and she was just so happy to be there. We talked a lot as we raked leaves and I forgot about the cold and how tired I was. She was so nice and it changed my whole day. I'm thankful for not only the opportunity I have to serve with Y-Serve, but for the people I get to meet and become friends with.
