Meet the Green Team: DWS
DWS joined us for a Green Teams clean-up on June 23rd at Humboldt Park.
This our third year getting out in the parks with DWS for a Green Teams event!

Why is volunteering for the parks important to your organization?
Our missions at DWS include sustainable action, and working with CPF is a great way for us to impact our local green spaces that everyone in our community benefits from.
How does your organization’s mission relate to the work you’re doing with CPF?
DWS’s corporate social responsibility strategy includes reducing social inequalities and fighting against climate change. Volunteering in our local parks allows us to help our environment, and make these parks a more enjoyable place to be for everyone.
Share a highlight of your clean-up event experience.
This was the first visit to Humboldt park for many of our volunteers, and it’s great to hear them remark about how Chicago has such a fantastic park that they didn’t even know about. We saw so much wildlife and beautiful gardening.
Thank you for pitching in once again, DWS!
