Other Volunteer Opportunities
 
PlantMyPhone – Hanging Posters
  • On your own time, starting Mon, 4/26
  • Posters available from Campus Recycling, 644 SW 13th St
  • Campus Recycling has paired up with PlantMyPhone to collect broken/unwanted cell phones, which will be refurbished or recycled, and the money collected will go toward planting trees! Help us spread awareness of the program by hanging posters on campus and around town. We will create a rough list of places, you can pick out where to hang them and cross them off the list. Please contact Andrea ahead of time to sign up.
