Community Clean Up Day: June 22
Will you help us get our campus ready to host hundreds of young learners and hardworking families this summer? Join us on Saturday, June 22, from 10am-Noon for a simple yet impactful way to serve our neighbors and enhance their experience at Urban Ventures.
Later this month, Summer Ventures (our summertime academic day camp) will host over 125 students every day, providing educational support in reading and math, along with enrichment activities like art, athletics, music, and more. Our campus spans 7 city blocks, and as students move around, a challenge arises.
Litter and trash aren’t just an eyesore; they can become a hazard. Broken glass, disposed needles, and other dangerous debris create real risks as we move students between parts of our campus. There is a psychological impact as well—unkempt areas can convey a lack of value.
We want every student to feel valued. Walking around our campus, including our streets, should feel like a breath of fresh air and a safe space prepared just for them. You can help us achieve that! In just a couple of hours on the morning of June 22, we can make a big difference in how it feels to walk around our neighborhood.
What to Know:
Meeting Point: Meet us at the Urban Farm (2838 5th Ave S) at 10am on Saturday, June 22.
What to Bring: Wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes. We’ll provide gloves, trash bags, and other necessary equipment.
