Game Day Green Team - Volunteer Opportunity

With football season for the Hokies well underway, so is all the fun surrounding the game. The Office of Sustainability is encouraging Sustainable Tailgating, primarily targeting the proper recycling of cans and bottles. The Game Day Green Team is a volunteer opportunity focused on proper recycling at tailgates and encouraging others to do the same. Join us 4 hours before kick-off to achieve this goal! Only 2 hours of volunteering are required, allowing two hours of free time prior to kick-off. This is a great way to get volunteer hours fulfilled and participate in a cause that helps our community thrive.
