What is it?
Bring your family and friends for a great time working together to clean, paint, garden, and generally spruce up the sites of 15 of our Community Partner Charities. Sites include after-school play projects, hospices, shelters, elderly centres, schools and a city farm.
Sign up now and you will be contacted around 20 October with your specific assignment. Each site is coordinated by ASL high school site leaders and a PCA volunteer. Site leaders will provide you with details of travel, equipment, and any other necessary guidance.
We have options on both Saturday and Sunday. Volunteers will meet directly at the sites and work together for approximately three hours. All sites will be filled first come, first served. Please note that some sties have age restrictions due either to the nature of the work we will be undertaking or the type of facilities.
Please contact PCA.CVDays@ASL.org with any questions. There is also a map with most of the sites listed in case you are juggling weekend commitments!
