About: Join us to clean up one of UCCS' adopted watersheds. UCCS is committed to cleaning up and preserving the beauty of our local waterways.
Time Commitment: Plan to spend approximately two to three hours volunteering.
Volunteer Expectations: Volunteers are expected to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the volunteer opportunity to check in, get a parking tag, get trained, and grab gloves and other supplies before starting their volunteer shift.
Qualifications: No minimum qualifications, but volunteers should be willing and able to walk to the creek site, which can be anywhere from one block to 0.5 miles from the meeting/parking spot. Volunteers should be able to comfortably bend to reach for trash and debris.
Impact: This clean up supports the UCCS Sustainability office's mission to demonstrate excellence in providing knowledge, solutions, and leadership toward further sustainability progress for the university and support corresponding efforts in the Pikes Peak Region.
Parking Details: Volunteers will meet at University Hall on the UCCS Campus (located at: University Hall, 1420 Austin Bluffs Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80918). The parking lot we will use is called: Lot 100. Alumni and friends will have their parking costs covered for three hours in total as a token of thanks to you for volunteering.
In order for us to cover your parking costs and to avoid being cited with a parking ticket we will provide you with a parking tag to hang on your rearview mirror upon your check-in at the event. Eligibility for a free parking tag closes on April 26th! If you register after that time you will be responsible for your parking costs. Should you forego picking up and hanging a parking tag or arrive after check-in ends you will be responsible for your parking fees or citations you receive.
