Location: Note-Able Music Therapy Services | 2590 Orovada St, Reno, NV 89512

Project Description: Grab your gloves and bring your neighborly spirit! Volunteers will team up for a feel-good community clean-up along Orovada Street, tackling the stretch from Silverada to the curve just east of Note-Able Music Therapy Services. We’ll roll up our sleeves to care for our shared spaces, meet new faces, and make a visible difference together. And because hard work deserves a good celebration, we’ll wrap things up with a block party—complete with music, food, and plenty of time to relax, laugh, and enjoy being together.

No formal background check or training is required for this project.

Volunteers are only required to complete our event sign-up form in advance, which collects basic participant information, an emergency contact, and a signed liability and photo/video release acknowledgment.
