CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING EVENTS

LOOKING FOR A COMPANY EVENT THAT ALSO GIVES BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY?

We can help to organize that event - whether it be just the clean up or an entire event with competition, clean up, education and refreshments / breakfast or lunch.

The MAIN EVENT is of course the clean up of an area in a selected community - streets or a park.  All of the equipment needed is provided by VCC - gloves, grabbers, vests and bags.  The group is divided into teams who then branch out in to assigned areas to do a specific amount of time (usually 1 1/2 hours) to pick up litter and illegal dumping items in that area - bag it and leave it on a curbside for VCC to pick up and discard after the event.  

TEAM BUILDING would involve the competition:

• Points for how much trash they collect as a team on the clean up event
• Points for the Litter Trash Relay event
• Points for the Litter Toss Game 
• Points for guessing the correct weight of a specific trash bag
• Recycle art project 

All of these games can be built into an event that will provide fun, outdoor activities and a meaningful corporate event.

VCC can customize that event for your organization.  Just give us a call / email.

Julie Barton MPA, MLS, Project Coordinator V - Community Impact Champion | Advocacy Ambassador - contacted VCC in order to organize a personal clean up event for her group at Medtronic and even though the temperature was close to 100 degrees we had an enthusiastic group show up to help their community look just a little cleaner.

VCC set up the parameters of the clean up and provided the grabbers, gloves, vests and bags for the clean up.  Medtronic has community involvement and environmental dedication as one of their missions - so this was just one part of their dedication to the community.

We divided into 5 groups of 4-5 employees each then set out to work Zelzah north and south; Lindley north and south; Kingsbury and Hiawatha streets and cleaned for about one and a half hours.

Everyone came back saying that they never thought the area was so trashy and that they could definitely see the difference...and that they actually enjoyed the activity.  We had a delicous lunch in the conference room at Medtronic and discussed trash, how it is getting better and how to involve VCC in a future activity with even more employees.

Together the group collected 30 bags of litter from the streets.  Thank you and Congratulations!

This wonderful group was part of the Devonshire Street Clean Up Event.

VCC VOLUNTEERS: Cash, Charlotte, Victoria and Wesley Ishida, Dale and myself.

There was Sarah Martin from Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel's office and 24+ members of the Mosque.  

The property is absolutely beautiful and Adnan bought us donuts and coffee to start the morning.  We gathered - took a great group picture - vested up and got assignments for cleaning up around Hale Junior High and El Camino High School and the local vicinity.  

We got 5 teams heading out different directions on both sides of the street cleaning up for 2 hours approximately.  It was a swarm of yellow vests on the streets... great picture.  

We collected about 20+ bags of trash off the street and some debris - construction articles, curtains and lots of wood.  All were disposed of by the group, myself and Don Larson (for the bigger stuff).  

It was a beautiful day - great weather and nice people.  Made a difference in the community!
