Ever wanted to make a difference or share some local love in your community but didn't know where to start?
We're here to help! These easy Hi Neighbour volunteer activities will spark joy and inspire others in your community!
What is a Hi Neighbour volunteer activity?
Hi Neighbour volunteer activities are self-directed new and easy ways to get involved in your community. And they're fun to do!
We've created accessible ways for individuals to volunteer and pay it forward through a number of activities that can be done individually or by connecting with like-minded people.
We're inviting the residents of Princeton to join our volunteer team and help us create a positive impact in Princeton. Sign up to be a part of Princeton's Hi Neighbour volunteer community!
Here's how this works:
Pick an activity from the list below (we've included links to DIY resources); gather your friends and turn it into a party, or do it on your own.
When you're done, take photos of your neighbourhood beautification project and send them to Princeton's Hi Neighbour's team, Tanya and Kaileigh. Share details of where to find your work of art, and they'll share it on our social channels. You and your project could be featured in iVolunteer's newsletter to inspire others to create local love where they live!
The activity:
Start a community Wishing Tree for neighbours and friends to hang wishes and uplifting messages of hope for your community.
Select a tree in your neighbourhood that is visible to everyone - it could be in your own front yard or on a sidewalk. Get together with friends and family and write messages on paper tags or make them permanent wishes on wood tags that are light enough to be tied to your community Wishing Tree's branches and sway in the breeze.
Take it one step further:
- Leave markers, tags and yarn in a weatherproof box at the base of the tree
- Create a sign that encourages passersby to write their wishes or stop to read the tags, admire the tree, and be inspired.
