VOLUNTEER
We’re a grassroots effort figuring it out as we go, and there’s more to organize than any small group can handle alone.
Here’s where we need help:
Block captains.
We’re building block-by-block coverage across the Hill. Block captains help make sure their street is plugged in: neighbors are informed, catch basins are treated, and trap participation is as high as possible. It’s a light lift with an outsized effect.
Outreach.
Helping spread the word at community events, posting flyers, staffing a table at a farmers market. If you’re good at talking to people, we need you.
Data collection.
We’re mapping untreated catch basins and standing water in public spaces across the neighborhood. This means walking blocks, logging locations, and helping us build a picture of where the problem is worst.
Everything else.
Coordinating with DC Health and local organizations, native planting initiatives, grant research, social media, web stuff. We’re still figuring out what we need and we’d love to hear what you’re good at
