OpenNorfolk

WHAT

OpenNorfolk is a boots-on-the-ground community assistance program that is helping local businesses open safely under The Governor’s Phase 1-3 Guidelines. In Phase 3, OpenNorfolk will continue to assist local businesses while focusing on neighborhoods and communities, aiming to fill needs for outdoor programming, safe places for families and kids, and community activation. The program will provide temporary, flexible Neighborhood Spots that ensure that the communities in which they are built can deliver their vision for a safe, healthy, educational summer pop-up park.

This is a city-wide effort that requires lots of help! We need volunteers for OpenNorfolk to help bring the visions to life by assisting with building, assembly, and construction of the Neighborhood Spots. Volunteers can opt to work in their own section of the city or in another neighborhood. We are seeking volunteers in two (2) different locations each day, for five (5) days, in two-hour (2 hr) shifts.
