Hi friends & neighbors,
As some of you may know, Brighton Main Streets is a small, grassroots organization with one employee. We rely on volunteers and committees to get our work done!
Let me know if you would like to be notified of one-off volunteer opportunities such as event set up/breakdown, landscaping (cleanups & plantings), direct mail envelope stuffing, and the like. These events include a small amount of mindless manual labor and a lot of laughs!
Here are our upcoming committee open houses. You can meet current members in a small group environment and learn more about their work.
