Outreach Support: Booth at Sustainable Saturday & Fixit Clinic – Valley Center (EVENT FULL)

Join us as an outreach volunteer and be a catalyst for change in creating a more sustainable future. At Solana Center, we envision a region where cities unite to preserve resources through a closed-loop system. Our goal is to keep materials out of landfills and waterways, replenish nutrients in our soils, and drive systemic change at all levels to address the pressing climate crisis.

By sharing our free resources and workshops, you can empower individuals to adopt environmentally conscious practices and contribute to a thriving planet.

Key Responsibilities:

• Engage workshop attendees and community members through informative presentations and interactive demonstrations.
• Provide support to our staff in teaching sustainable practices that help preserve resources and combat climate change.
• Showcase our upcoming workshops and events, highlighting the wide range of educational opportunities available.
