\u201cVolunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We believe that a strong community is a civically engaged community. We put our tools to work improving the places we share through large-scale community projects such as neighborhood clean-ups, tree-plantings, community gardens, and public art installations. Each year we help organize and facilitate more than a dozen community service events in partnership with block clubs, community groups, and neighborhood organizations.<\/p>\n

These events bring together community members, teach new hands-on skills, and help steward public spaces like parks, gardens, and trails. More than just picking up trash or planting a tree, Service Days at The Tool Library are about reconnecting neighbors, harnessing the power of collective action to address quality of life issues, and building a culture of stewardship over the spaces we share.<\/p>\n

Most events take place on Saturday mornings and last no longer than three hours. Please plan to bring your cellphone, as volunteers will need to sign a digital waiver before participating in each event.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black” css=”.vc_custom_1718811083634{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
