Volunteer Opportunities in 2017
Keep Owasso Clean is a volunteer program that allows neighbors, families and groups to join our efforts to keep our community clean by helping with litter pickup and encouraging a behavior of not littering our community.
The first event for 2017 is scheduled for Saturday, March 11th and the 2nd Saturday each month through November.
> Volunteers meet at City Hall {200 S Main St} at 9:00 AM toreceive their assigned area and supplies for picking up litter.
Project should be completed by 11:00 AM. Volunteers are assigned areas to pick up litter then afterwards encouraged to educate others not to litter.
Owasso CARES Day of Service is a volunteer event developed through OSNI that is led by a volunteer group of community leaders to provide a way for family, friends, neighbors, and groups to make a positive impact in our neighborhoods and community.
> Bi-annual event (Spring-April – Saturday-April 22nd / Fall-September – Saturday-September 23rd ) **PLEASE RSVP if you plan to participate**
There are various projects for volunteers: pick up litter, clean out debris from drainage areas, trim trees, paint fire hydrants, assist residents, plant, etc.
Volunteers meet at City Hall at 8:30 AM for Kick-off rally then are matched with their Leader from the Owasso CARES Leadership Team who provides details about their project and their supplies. Generally, we try to have projects done by Noon.
