Sustainable Neighborhoods Program

Your neighborhood. Your ideas. Your home.

O'Kane Park Sustainable Neighborhood - Lakewood, CO

Sign-up to volunteer for one of our initiatives here!

On Saturday, Dec. 5, residents of the Sustain O'Kane group met and identified several initiatives to launch in our community. Now, we need help from our neighbors to make these projects happen. We want to invite ALL residents of the O'Kane Park neighborhood to get involved and volunteer!

One of the great things about the Sustainable Neighborhoods Program is that you can volunteer however much time you have available to better your community! You create the commitment and let the team know how you are available to help.

Please take a few minutes to review the initiatives on this form and let us know how you'd like to help.
