Can I register on project day? Release forms will be available on-site for those who need them but signing up early makes planning and logistics so much easier! If you are under 18, you will need to have a signed parental consent form before you can begin work. What should I wear on project day? Dress appropriately! A CAP T-shirt will be given to each volunteer at Check-In. You may wear appropriate length shorts, jeans, closed-toe shoes, insect repellent, and plan for sun protection: hat or sunscreen. Bring a jacket if the weather is rainy or cool. What should I bring to the project? Bring your release form (available online) to turn in at check-in. Also, gloves, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, light snacks and bottled water will be available but we recommend that you also bring your own. What about food & water? We will provide a lunch and water will be provided. You may wish to bring additional snacks. Will I be safe? Everyone will hear a safety presentation and will always work in groups. Each site will have a project coordinator who will monitor safety. Police are aware of the projects and will provide extra patrols. First aid kit will be available on site. Will there be a safe place for valuables? Please leave valuables at home or lock them in your vehicle. Plan on interacting with others, including neighborhood residents; so leave your iPhone, iPods; MP3 players at home.
