MAKE A DIFFERENCE-VOLUNTEER

Have you been looking for something to do that will make a change for the better in your life and the life of your community? You have already made a commitment to Edgewater by living here-have you thought about how you, your family, and friends can contribute to making a difference for the better in our community? The Edgewater Community Council has numerous volunteer opportunities for everyone of all ages. Are you interested in neighborhood safety? in public transportation issues? in beautifying the neighborhood?, are you interested in donating a few hours a week to assisting in office work? - if so, the Edgewater Community Council may be your answer.

You decide how involved you want to be-you might choose to join one the task force committees of ECC-Transportation, Safety, Planning & Development, Edgewater Beautiful, Communications, Fundraising, Education-there are many opportunities. You might also think about a time limited project through many of our on-going activities such as Edgewater Beautiful-planting flowers, cleaning up near the "L" stops, a few hours of your time with family, friends and neighbors makes a world of difference in the community and for all its residents.
You can pick and choose what you would like to do - it's a great way to become involved and see the results of your efforts.

Since 1960, the Edgewater Community Council has linked residents, businesses, elected officials with shared interests and concerns to enhance the lives of the diverse group of residents who compose the neighborhood of Edgewater.
