Livability & Safety Initiative

Pearl District Volunteers

The Pearl District Neighborhood Association (PDNA) Pearl District Volunteers are a trained group of volunteers organized to increase the safety and livability of our neighborhood. We have a regular weekly schedule of clean ups led by Zone Leaders. We are a non-confrontational group of concerned citizens with a passion for keeping our neighborhood clean, safe and vibrant.  Any and all from our neighborhood or beyond is welcome to come and “try-out” a cleanup!

Ready to lend a hand or have any questions? Contact us via email at hello@pearlddistrict.org or by filling out the general PDNA membership/volunteer form and selecting Pearl Volunteers as one of your areas of interest.
