Adopt-a-Spot

Volunteer Program

The Adopt-A-Spot Program is a simple and effective way for our community's residents, organizations, and businesses to get involved in improving our community. You can adopt parks, creeks, streets, trails, plazas, and storm drains, and assist with the painting of benches, walls, and buildings. To adopt a location, all you need to do is sign and submit a request form, committing to the program requirements. Once approved by our staff, your commitment is a testament to your empowerment and dedication to our community.
