Project Description
Volunteers will help clean, move furniture, and decorate classrooms in preparation for spring programming at the Joy Village School's new facility at Milledge Avenue Baptist Church. If you have cleaning supplies, please bring them along with you! Magic erasers, Clorox wipes, multi-purpose cleaner, paper towels, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

• This site is for all ages.
• Volunteers will be asked to move some heavy furniture (bookshelves, tables, etc.). Additionally, the second floor of the church is not wheelchair accessible.
• Volunteers should wear long pants, close-toed shoes, and dress in layers.
• Bring a filled reusable water bottle.

Registration Notes
Children under 18 should be registered by their parent/guardian. To do this, select "Add Attendee" at the top of the registration page BEFORE submitting your registration form. Check the box that says "Check if minor" and you will then be prompted to enter a first and last name (you do not need to enter an email for a minor). All volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please note that we are unable to accommodate large group registrations. If you have a group that would like to volunteer at the same site, each individual must separately register through GivePulse.
