Opportunity Details
DePave the Portland Mercado! (age 10+) Referral
By volunteering with us, you will help with the removal of unnecessary pavement from our urban space to create a community green space and to help mitigate stormwater runoff. The volunteer work is physical, but mostly about community building. We will provide a light breakfast and lunch, as well as music and an activity for kids younger than 10.
