TLDR; Join Georgetown MBA Volunteers for a morning of service with the National Park Service at East Potomac Park and Hains Point. Typical projects are mulching or litter cleanup. NPS provides tools/equipment - bring your own water.

Volunteers will be picking up trash and recyclables at Hains Point. Volunteers will meet and exit at Hains Point Golf Course Parking lot. Please see the link to meeting location. Volunteers will be walking around Hains Point for 3.2 miles for area beautification. 

Please understand that the needs of the park vary and assignments are decided based on those needs, and are subject to change. All projects are equally important and your work is appreciated by all of the park staff.   

What to bring the day of the project:  
Water and snacks or box lunch  
Closed toed shoes and appropriate clothing  
Sunscreen and other personal needs  
Signed volunteer agreement.  
Weather Cancellation: The cancellation of a project during inclement weather (i.e. light to medium rain) will be decided by your group leader. However, the National Park Service will cancel projects during severe weather conditions (i.e. thunder and lightning). 
 
Important note for special guests: Please notify National Park staff of any special guest, including your company’s CEO, CFO, or senior level executives, who will be attending the volunteer project. 
 
Commercial Photography and Media:
The 301A form only needs to be filled out by the group leader. Everyone else will sign 301b a sign in sheet at the project site. (If participates are under 18 each user agreement has to be filled out by a parent or guardian). Forms will be available and can be filled out on-site.

All the other tools and equipment needed will be provided for you. 

Parking can be found at this link to parking information.
