CLEAN UP
CROWN HEIGHTS
During the fall of 2020, I joined a volunteer street sanitation group in my community. There was a need to do something good.
I kept showing up for 3 years and have now become a leader/organizer! In the beginning I worked on the overall branding, with a focus on catching attention. Later, as a passion project, I started creating videos of our routes.
This project highlights the videos made.
The Community of
Crown Heights
has responded well to our social media presence and altruism, increasing our number of volunteers and allowing us reach many people outside of our community.
I’ve always thought that Clean Up Crown Heights was part direct-volunteer group, part social group. That’s what I was trying to accomplish with these videos. The amazing community we had, and the good people who make up a tiny portion of it.
