The Clean Team is a group of dedicated volunteers who help keep Washington Square Park clean with a regular commitment to litter pick-up. Following a required orientation, volunteers will be outfitted with the tools needed to pick up stray litter at the Park.
The program takes place when NYC Parks staff are present: 8:00am-8:00pm, 7 days a week and you can volunteer anytime within this time frame. We recommend a shift of 45 minutes once a week. While there is flexibility in scheduling and total hours served, we do ask for a season-long (season runs April-December) commitment.
Orientations take place in April. Applications will close on 4/14. Volunteers will be notified by 4/19.
