Lead Earth Day Projects for SOLVE IT, presented by Portland General Electric

SOLVE is excited to announce that we are currently accepting applications from volunteer leaders for project support on our annual Earth Day event, SOLVE IT presented by Portland General Electric. SOLVE IT events will take place across the state on Saturday, April 21st from 9am-1pm; teachers are encouraged to involve their students in service-learning activities any time between April 14th and April 28th. The deadline for applications is Monday, January 31st.

SOLVE IT provides volunteer opportunities to take care of our parks, waterways and neighborhoods by picking up trash, pulling invasive weeds, planting trees and other watershed enhancement activities. This is your opportunity to become a SOLVE project leader and to apply for assistance for your local volunteer project as part of Earth Day. SOLVE provides free project planning assistance and training, event flyers and pre-event publicity, online volunteer registration, and cleanup project supplies. SOLVE also has a limited number of small grants of up to $100 for reimbursement of qualifying project expenses.
