The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources is inviting community members to join its final volunteer training of the year on Saturday. This training is the last opportunity in 2025 to become an official outreach volunteer. The training will be held at Waste Resources’ Headquarters located at 14310 Frederick St., Moreno Valley.
Outreach Volunteers play a role in supporting department programs and engaging the public on sustainability practices. From assisting with classes on composting, recycling, and waste reduction, to mentoring students in local schools as Compost Mentors, volunteers directly contribute to building a greener future. Volunteers also represent the department at community events and help promote programs that protect natural resources and reduce landfill waste.
“This program is a great way for residents to get involved, give back, and help lead change in their own community,” said Mike Perez, Waste Resources’ volunteer services coordinator. George Podolsky, also a volunteer service coordinator, added, “Our volunteers are the heart of our outreach efforts, and together we’re making a tremendous difference.”
Volunteer Requirements:
- Must be at least 15 years old
- Bilingual volunteers are especially needed
- Training provided – no prior experience necessary
