River Day Site Captain Meeting
Put your leadership skills to work and manage volunteer team for Chicago River Day activities.
Volunteers work side-by-side to collect garbage and sort for recycling, remove invasive vegetation, spruce up river-edge trails, plant native seedlings and more. Friends is also expanding hands-on learning opportunities this year by introducing volunteers to simple everyday practices that conserve water, help stop unnecessary flooding, and prevent pollutants from running into the river.
