Description

YouthHope Rock Island is used 6 days a week for after-school and evening programming for low-income children and teens. We look forward to having your help in cleaning and freshening up our facilities, as we will be in the midst of our fall programming. Example projects we plan to accomplish in our 8,000 square foot youth center are: deep cleaning, carpet cleaning, organizing supplies and donations, landscaping, touch-up painting, and cleaning vehicles inside and out. 

Volunteers are encouraged to bring work gloves and safety glasses. We will have supplies and PPE available for those who don't have them. It's going to be a great day to help us freshen our space and help Bring Hope to kids and teens through a safe and clean facility.
