Opportunity Details
Shelby Community Center Weight Room Revival
The Shelby Park Community Center has an opportunity to turn a room within their gym into a weight room for visitors, and they need your help getting it ready! We'll be removing the contents of the room and preparing the walls for a fresh coat of paint, so come ready to get a little dirty from cleaning.
What is the community impact of this event?
Once finished, this weight room will serve as a free community resource for those looking to utilize weights in their workout routines. Having access to this resource will directly impact community members' mental and physical wellbeing.
What will volunteers be doing at this event?
Volunteers will be clearing out any furniture from the space and scrubbing the walls with sponges and cleaning solution to remove grease stains, marker, and anything else on the walls. This will prepare the walls for a fresh coat of paint to be applied further down the line. Once finished, and if there's extra time, volunteers might help community center employees with other types of cleaning and organization throughout the center.
Accessibility
The event will be held inside an air-conditioned building with fans. There are bathrooms and running water located inside the Community Center, with plenty of parking outside. We will be using ladders to reach the higher sections of the walls, and we'll be scrubbing with sponges and rags.
What to bring?
Bringing a reusable water bottle is recommended but not required. Please wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. All necessary tools and gloves will be provided.
What’s next?
If you sign up for this event, you will receive a reminder email a few days before the event with specific instructions regarding parking and any other necessary information.
