An AmeriCorps program connecting service members and under-resourced communities throughout Washington state
AmeriCorps celebrates Earth Day as a Day of Service to mobilize volunteers for hands-on environmental stewardship, connecting community service with ecological health, aligning with Earth Day’s goal of raising awareness and action for a cleaner world by tackling projects like restoration, cleanups, and conservation efforts on public lands and in communities nationwide. This initiative brings together AmeriCorps members, partners, and community volunteers to create tangible improvements, demonstrating that individual actions and service contribute to a healthier planet and address critical environmental challenges, from climate change to local pollution. Below are upcoming Earth Day of Service projects hosted or recommended by Washington Service Corps members, sites, partners, or alumni. If you would like us to add your service project to the list, please submit a Days of Service form.
