P.O.P. Program (Litter Assistance)
Looking for a way to give back to your community? Look no further! Welcome to the People of the Parks Program (P.O.P.), an exciting NEW initiative in the City of Dublin that aims to foster community engagement and environmental stewardship. In this new volunteer program, we invite ALL residents, businesses, organizations, and visitors alike to join us in keeping our city clean and green. By participating in this incentivized program, you not only contribute to the well-being of our parks and trails but also earn rewards for your efforts. Who doesn't like prizes?
WHICH OPTION IS BEST FOR ME?
People of the Parks has two components: Individuals and Families, or Businesses and Organizations, for participants to consider prior to registering.
Option 1: Individual and Family Registration
This option is for individuals and families who are interested in a self-tracking component with no required hours or initiatives. You decide when and where you would like to assist and track your hours on the provided form for a chance to win prizes in the quarterly drawing. The more hours you contribute, the greater your chances of receiving one of our amazing prizes, which include City and program-branded gifts; gift cards to local businesses; free or reduced passes to The Wave; free or reduced passes to other city programs such as the Shamrock 5K; and much more!
Option 2: Business and Organization Registration
This option is for businesses and organizations who are interested in ADOPTING a specific park or trail. This component is a year-long commitment with monthly requirements of at least 16 hours and must be tracked on the provided form. Groups who remain in good standing will receive citywide recognition, as well as branded signage at their specific location. This sign recognizes your group as the ADOPTER of this location and will remain up during the duration of your commitment.
