Saturday of Service: Photo Project @ Canalway Partners

Site Description: Canalway Partners is a non-profit that serves as a catalyst for projects and programs within the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area in Cuyahoga County. They aim to preserve the natural and cultural experiences of the Ohio & Erie Canalway for the future and connect people to place, by increasing public education and experiences around the history, heritage and environment. They led in the development of the Towpath Trail in Cuyahoga County and Canal Basin Park, and they regularly program acclaimed Cleveland events including The Towpath Marathon, Cycle Canalway and RiverSweep.

Service Description:  Volunteer will work with a couple hundred matted photos in plastic sleeves from over the years. The plaques on the mats are dated, so volunteers would repackage these photos, removing the black mat and resealing the photo with the backing so the organization can reuse the images for an upcoming campaign. Volunteers may also help disassemble our old yard signs.

When + Where: Registered volunteers will meet at the CCEL office at 11:30 am and will return to campus by 2:30 pm. Volunteers will travel together to the site with a CCEL student leader via CCEL minivan.
