SOLVE Volunteer training

Here’s your chance to learn how to make a difference in your community! Join SOLVE on Friday, September 20 in Bend for a free, hands-on workshop and learn how to envision & lead successful volunteer projects to improve the environment in your community. Receive the training you need to organize a volunteer project to remove invasive plants from your favorite natural area, plant native trees in your local park, or pick up trash at your special beach! Participants will learn the basics of watershed restoration and how to plan and lead a successful volunteer project. Specific topics include volunteer recruitment and management, project logistics and safety, preventing volunteer burnout, working with the media, and fundraising. The training is free for anyone that leads a SOLVE project within one year of the training.
