How hosting works

Find a spot, claim it, prove it's done.

Find a spot to claimRead the hosting guide
  1. Step 1: Find

    Find the spot that needs it most

    • 311 hotspots, blocks, parks, drains and plantings
    • A need score from 0 to 100 you can see the math behind
    • Search by address or ZIP code
  2. Step 2: Claim

    Claim it for your group

    • Name, email and a date. No account needed
    • Held for 7 days after your date, visible to everyone
    • Invite your civic club, class or team by link
  3. Step 3: Prove it’s done

    Snap an after photo, send the bags to 311

    • After photo, bag count and hours
    • A pre-filled 311 pickup request for your bags
    • A share card for your group chat or council office

Who this is for

Built for the people who already show up

Neighbors, civic clubs, schools and company teams share one calendar and one map, so everyone can see what is planned, what is taken, and what got done.

Bringing a group? Read the guide for companies and schools.

  • Neighbors
    “I'd give up a Saturday morning, but I never know where help is needed.”

    See what's coming up near you and ask to join, no account needed. Or claim the block you walk past every day.

  • Civic clubs and super neighborhoods
    “We clean the same four blocks while the ones two streets over get skipped.”

    Claim your blocks as a group, see what is already taken, and show your council office the totals.

  • Schools and youth groups
    “Our students need service hours at a safe, supervised site.”

    Litter-only sites, a named adult lead on every claim, and hours that count for each member.

  • Company teams
    “We have 20 people for a half day and need photos for our report.”

    Join a tree planting with set spots and a host, or claim a spot for your team day and get a share card with your bags, hours and photos.
