Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful

Volunteer

Volunteers are the life-blood of Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful. Without volunteers, we wouldn't be able to provide our many programs and services. During 2006 we were blessed with well over 3,500 volunteers who gave a total of 11,236 hours of service to make their community a better place to live. KNIB offers volunteer opportunities for men and women of all ages (some programs are minimum age restricted) and for all kinds of abilities and interests.

For instance, you could volunteer to:

Educate children on the Environment by making presentations in the schools

Collect and Recycle used metals and electronics at two Recycling Drives

Clean Up your neighborhoods as a part of the Great American Cleanup

Assist with a number of fund raising opportunities

Perform work in our office based on your special talents

Collect useable clothing to be distributed to 3rd world countries

Spend as little as 1.5 hours at the Recycling Center on Saturday Morning

Serve as a member of a committee planning one of our annual projects

Assist in our office with mailings. newsletters, Annual Reports, etc.

Many people lead busy lifestyles and unpredictable schedules make it challenging to commit to any volunteering that requires a large time commitment. That's why KNIB offers flexible volunteerism that can be accomplished from many locations with as little or as much time as you have available.
