Painting is an easy way to engage many volunteers while assisting partner organizations with renovations. Simple painting projects to consider are walls(interior and exterior), school classrooms or cafeterias, bedrooms or other living areas at a shelter or group home, park, or neighborhood block wall fences. This activity is great for episodic service or one-time group projects which require little or no predetermined skill level from volunteers.
