Volunteerism
The success of any venture depends upon the enthusiasm and efforts of the participants. Some activities require a significant commitment of time and effort. Others involve a minimal one-time contribution of time and effort. Some involve the use of your intellect while others may be mundane, backbreaking work. Your special talents could be used on one or more activities. You may work alone or in a group; you may lead or follow. No effort is too small. Each contribution is valuable and necessary to insure the success of this continuing effort to revitalize downtown Eastport.
Please use the Contact section of this web site to choose the easiest ways for you to contact the Downtown Director to volunteer your talents.
Eastport for Pride offers a variety of volunteer activities including:
- Adopt-a-Street
