VOLUNTEER - GREEN TEAMS

Green Teams park clean-up events provide a unique opportunity for your employees to get outside and give back together!

The Chicago Parks Foundation’s corporate clean-up program connects our team with yours for a personalized two-hour clean-up experience at a park in need.

CPF staff meet you on-site with all supplies in hand to lead your team through a trash pick-up. We respectfully request a ten person minimum and $1,000 donation to the Chicago Parks Foundation.

When you join us as a Green Team, you are supporting the 501c3 partner of the Chicago parks. Your involvement makes vital park projects and programs possible, including our citywide ‘Pitch In for the Parks’ effort of thousands of community volunteers!

Our Green Teams program is also generously supported by Presenting Sponsor Chicago Association of REALTORS®, and in part by Boxed Water and Move-Tastic.
