Build and Beautify is a day for volunteers to get involved with the development of our home base and support Solana Center programs from the ground up! 

In joining us for this activity, you will help beautify our grounds, creating a space for engaging our community in our sustainable offerings. 

At this event, we will be preparing for our re-opening of our Climate Solutions Hub, and this may involve moving some of our larger display and inventory items. So the ability to do a bit of heavy lifing is very much appreciated.

If you have any concerns or limitations regarding lifting weight but still wish to participate, please contact us at volunteer@solanacenter.org.

Other activities may include:

  • Gardening and pruning
  • Staging rain barrels
  • Spreading mulch
  • Painting
  • General Site Cleanup
