Captains Needed!

We are looking for captains to help with the 5th Annual Great Salem Cleanup on Saturday May 16th!

We will have multiple locations across the city all conducting their cleanups at the same time (10 am – 12 pm). After the cleanup we will invite all volunteers to East Regiment for a volunteer appreciation party (with lots of amazing giveaways and treats!)

Captains are responsible for:

• picking up supplies at East Regiment the morning of the cleanup
• being the point person for volunteers (at your designated location) during the cleanup
• taking photos of your group during the cleanup
• ensuring trash bags are tied up and left at the designated spot for your cleanup location
• returning supplies to East Regiment after the cleanup

If you’re interested, please email keepsalembeautiful@gmail.com
