Volunteer Position Description and Purpose:
Join Southside ReLeaf for a Cool the City Forum! During this collaborative and community-focused event, we’ll play a game where you’ll work with others to identify how to collectively prioritize government spending. The focus will be on creating a city that is better prepared to manage the impacts of extreme heat, flooding, and other weather events. This is a free event and lunch/dinner will be provided. It will be a fun time with networking and meaningful conversation!

This forum is part of Cool the City, a collaborative campaign to create greener and healthier futures in Richmond’s neighborhoods that need it the most.
