National Mall and Memorial Parks needs you, amazing volunteers, to help promote sustainability by encouraging high volumes of visitors to recycle during the annual Independence Day Celebration!
Volunteers will collect recyclables, ensure they are deposited in the correct area, answer questions, and distribute information in an effort to educate the public and keep the Mall clean during this high traffic event.
Time: 4:30 P.M.- 9:00 PM. Volunteers will receive t-shirts and a box dinner, and are invited to stay for the awesome fireworks show at 9:10!
Please contact James Pierce/(202) 744-1841 if you are interested in this great opportunity to give back and make a difference!
It's super fun! And the crowds are very appreciative. :) Thank you in advance!

Description
The Washington that you see today had its birth two centuries ago in a rational yet visionary design unprecedented in its scale. Pierre Charles L'Enfant's plan for the city and its core mall area was influenced by urban planning then current in Euproe and neoclassical landscape design exemplified by Versalles. Brilliantly adapting those ideas to Washington's terrain, L'Enfant placed the Capitol on Jenkins Hill and the "Presidents House" on a lower terrace then overlooking the Potomac River. Between them ran Pennsylvania Avenue, to symbolize the spearate but connected branches of government. The spirit of that plan lives in the city still.
