Keep Jackson Beautiful Month is an opportunity to honor our planet and take proactive steps to care for it. We encourage both individuals and groups to participate in our events or to initiate your own cleanup or environmental activities within your community.
We warmly invite all residents of Jackson to join us and Keep America Beautiful in the Great American Cleanup, which is the nation’s largest community improvement initiative. This program has consistently expanded in strength, scope, and community involvement. Each year, over 5 million volunteers join forces in more than 20,000 communities nationwide, creating a significant movement and fostering visible improvements in local neighborhoods. Clean-up, planting, and painting events will take place throughout our city from March 20th to June 20th.
Our efforts would be incomplete without your participation. If you and your neighborhood are interested in joining, please complete the volunteer form, and we will reach out to you. Participation in these events also qualifies for community service hours, and certificates will be provided for those who require them.
Join Keep Jackson Beautiful as we strive to keep America beautiful, one city at a time.
