Agency: Daniel Webster Middle School

Description:

Twice monthly, L.A. Works volunteers come out to help care for and maintain the Daniel Webster School Garden, which serves to educate students about the environment and environmental inequity, as well as to provide a resource that enriches the community. Volunteers work to create new gardening plots, remove weeds and brush, and add new plants.

Daniel Webster Middle School is an LAUSD public school serving grades 7-8.

Give a Day, Get a Disney Day: Volunteers who participate in this opportunity are eligible to earn a free ticket to a Disney theme park; however, the only way to receive a ticket is to sign up for this project through www.disneyparks.com.

Special Note: In case of rain the day before or the day of the project, the project will likely be cancelled. If this is the case you will be notified by email.

Age Requirement: Volunteers for this project must be at least 5 years of age.

Minors: Any volunteer under the age of 18 will need to bring and have signed by a parent/guardian a Volunteer Agreement & Release for Minors. Volunteers under 13 years of age will also need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Federal Law prohibits volunteers under the age of 13 from registering on-line.
