Volunteer Now and Throughout the Summer!
In collaboration with the Metropolitan Police Department, HandsOn Greater DC Cares
and other local partners, residents throughout the District will be
invited out for a day of celebration in their communities! The "Beat the
Streets" Movement was started to dispel violence, improve community
relations and encourage citizens to live peacefully.
Music, food and games will be available at each event. The local government, the community, health and non-Profit agencies will also provide relevant services (Jobs, health screenings, aging information, mentoring services, etc.) to our District residents. Bringing together these supporters allows access to information, applications and appointments which will help our Citizens succeed.
Six events from May until September will be held in various neighborhoods throughout the District. Two shifts of volunteers throughout the day are requested for each event: a team to set-up (3PM - 5:30PM) and a team to break-down (5:30PM - 8PM). If you are able to stay for the entire day, we'd love to have you and invite you to enjoy the event! Volunteers will also be asked to assist in food preparation and serving, engage with residents, and to help residents find different services available at the event.
