How to Host a Park Clean-Up in San Francisco

Step 5 PROMOTE IT

Here is the part where you let other people know about your big plans. Write up a quick, informative and inviting PARAGRAPH to send along to the following places:

-- neighborhood associations

-- school associations like P.T.A.s (Remember when you were a young activist? Or when you had community service graduation requirements?)

-- volunteermatch.org (Find do-gooders from all across the city!)

-- http://www.craigslist.org

-- neighborhood blogs (Include general San Francisco ones like http://www.sfist.com as well)

-- neighborhood newspapers (Include big ones too like the Chronicle and the Guardian.)

And of course, make a FLYER. You can put these up in the windows of local businesses, on community bulletin boards, lamp posts, mailboxes... If you're feeling extra friendly, you can even stand on a corner and hand them out to passersby.

The more people you tell, the more people will come. However, be aware that listings in newspapers and such don't tend to attract many people. Your best bet is always to reach out to organized groups (like your neighborhood association) and Volunteer Match.
