Providing snacks and refreshments can be a good way to keep volunteers energized, happy, and hydrated during volunteer events. A strategically timed snack break can be a good time for socializing as well as regrouping for additional tasks or priorities of the work day.
We encourage you to take photos and videos at your volunteer projects. Before & after, and action photos are a great way to document and share the hard work of you and the volunteers. We collect photos from all the projects for photo slideshows for city‐wide cleanups (like this one from Earth Day), volunteer appreciation, and promotion of future volunteer events.
