Volunteer Saturdays—Help Keep Downtown Clean and Beautiful! 

Volunteer Saturdays are a way for community members, local business, and civic-minded individuals to volunteer their time toward making Downtown Pittsburgh a better and cleaner place to live, work, and play. Volunteers work alongside the PDP Clean and Street Teams on beautification projects all over Downtown Pittsburgh. Responsibilities include such tasks as: pulling weeds, landscaping, removing litter and debris, painting, and other tasks that require bending, squatting, and lifting. The Team is flexible and will work with groups on their project choice.

We're seeking folks with landscaping and general maintenance experience but any volunteer willing to learn and put forth a good effort will be considered!

If interested, send an e-mail with your name and phone number to pdpstreetteam@blockbyblock.com and Riley will be in contact with you. Or, feel free to call Riley at (412) 325-0156.

Kudos to all of our awesome volunteers! To view Downtown beautification event photos, check out the photo album on Picasa.
