Who: Ecology Action volunteers and staff. Groups welcome - tell a friend!
What: Our marketing team has partnered with Community Printers of Santa Cruz to develop an awesome 2018 calendar, full of amazing Santa Cruz photography plus environmental facts and tips, which will be given out as gifts for our various supporters. We’re looking for volunteers to help us with the final step of assembling for the roughly 2,500 calendars that will be printed for distribution. All supplies and instructions will be provided and volunteers will receive a ***complimentary breakfast and lunch!***
Where: Ecology Action (877 Cedar St.)
When: December 13th at 9:30am - we’re asking volunteers to join us then but can also arrange for you to drop in later, if needed. End time will depend on the amount of volunteers that attend, but volunteers are more than welcome to join for the whole day or for just a couple hours whenever they are free - just let me know what would work for you and we’ll make it happen! We will have the room reserved until 4pm, but if I hit my goal of 20 volunteers then we’ll be finished much earlier - likely just after lunch or so.
Why: EA is fortunate enough to have a huge amount of community support in the form of volunteers, donors, partners and sponsors. We’ve created this calendar the distribute as a small token of our appreciation for all the amazing work of these various supporters. Help us put the finishing touches on what is sure to be an awesome little gift for local EcoActors!

Description
BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY: Is a monthly incentive program held at 7 schools through out the county. Volunteers set up a table in front of school at the beginning of the day and have students sign in if they biked, walked, skated, or scootered to school. Students receive small prizes and are entered into a raffle to win more prizes for the day like bike lights, locks and helmets. We currently need a volunteer at Del Mar Elementary School in Live Oak and H.A. Hyde Elementary School in Watsonville. BIKE SMART: Help create a generation of empowered skillful young cyclists! Volunteers for the BikeSmart Youth Bicycle Safety Program will be assisting elementary and middle school youth learn about bike safety. We set up a bicycle safety skills obstacle course, called a "rodeo" and bring bikes for the students to ride. We also fit helmets and guide the students through different stations in the obstacle course. This is an outdoor activity, really fun and interactive with lots of laughing while learning. In the ten years that BikeSmart has been active, we have provided hands-on bike safety training to over 18,000 youth in Santa Cruz County. For some students, this is their first time riding a bike and by the end of the day, they are riding strong! BikeSmart operates during the school year and school hours, and volunteers are always needed. We encourage volunteers to commit to a minimum of 2 hours per month. Active4Me & Boltage: Are free student active transportation programs where children earn prizes by walking, biking, scootering and skateboarding to school. Children's trips, miles traveled, calories burned and greenhouse gases saved are uploaded to an online tracking program. The more trips kids have the more prizes they earn. When students arrive at school "actively" they scan in with a volunteer using a handheld scanner (Active4Me) or zap in through an RFID reader (Boltage). We want to create healthy life-long habits by getting kids excited about riding/walking/skating/scootering to school. We are looking for volunteers to help with our south county schools: Mintie White, Starlight and H.A. Hyde. Morning volunteer opportunities include scanning and hand out prizes to students. Afternoon volunteers are also needed to help manage the monthly "Active4Me store" where students can buy fun prizes with the points they have acquired from their active trips to school. Office work: If you would rather work in office we have many in office tasks available. Please contact Erin Devitt at edevitt@ecoact.org or by phone (513) 833-1454 with any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
