Join the Depave Crew!

Join Depave in improving the health and livability of our communities while gaining experience in coordinating volunteers and facilitating volunteer events. Crew Leaders assist with depaving events along with other Depave crew members.

Depave Crew Leaders are key to ensuring our fun events go smoothly and safely. Crew Leaders instruct small groups of new volunteers at pavement-removal and planting work parties and assist Project Coordinators with event set up and wrap up. Crew Leaders teach new volunteers how to remove pavement safely and work together as a team. Crew Leaders receive a Depave Crew t-shirt to wear proudly on and off the asphalt.
