Community & Corporate Group Volunteering - Dakota County Waterside Cleanups - Group Volunteering
General Description
Now is the perfect time to get out and help out. Group volunteering is a meaningful break from the work/daily routine to help build camaraderie, collaboration, improve team communications, and to help make lasting change. These projects focus on the protection of our waterways and water resources by picking up garbage and pollutants at a number of different sites across the county. Most locations will offer plenty of parking, indoor bathroom facilities and beautiful views of nature in our park and trail systems.
Dakota County’s volunteer opportunities offer many unique and rewarding experiences for your community or corporate group to experience together. All supplies, training, and event organization is taken care of by us. All your group needs to do is show up, ready to work and have fun!
