Hands-on opportunities for individuals and groups to support clean waterways, public spaces, and environmental sustainability in Carrollton.

Who Can Participate

Community Service Projects are a good fit for:

  • Individuals and families
  • Schools and student groups

Projects range from one-time activities to ongoing commitments and are designed to be accessible, educational, and impactful.

Available Community Service Projects

Adopt-A-Spot

Good For: businesses, churches, families, and volunteers interested in an ongoing commitment

This two-year program invites participants to help maintain a public area in Carrollton through quarterly cleanups. This option is ideal for those interested in ongoing community service over time.

Waterway Cleanup

Good For: individuals, students, large groups, and first-time volunteers

Participants help remove litter and debris from creeks and streams throughout Carrollton. This flexible option is well suited for one-time or short-term community service hours.

Storm Drain Marking

Good For: youth volunteers, small groups, and environmental clubs

Help protect local waterways by installing “Only Rain Down the Drain” markers on storm drain inlets. This activity is a good option for participants looking for a shorter service opportunity with a clear environmental focus.
