Clean City The DC Way


JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL FATHER’S DAY CLEAN-UP!

This Father’s Day, let’s come together as a community to make a positive impact! Join us on June 15th at Shirley Chisholm Elementary School for a morning of teamwork, connection, and giving back to the neighborhood we love.

Our Father’s Day Clean-Up is more than just picking up litter – it’s about building a stronger, cleaner community for our young soccer stars and their families. It’s a chance to celebrate dads, spend quality time with loved ones, and show our gratitude by making our environment a better place.

And the fun doesn’t stop there! Right after the clean-up, stick around for our Soccer For All event at Chisholm Field from 12-2 pm! Celebrate Father’s Day with family fun, soccer games, creative activities, and the chance to win amazing prizes. It’s all about bringing the community together—because soccer is for ALL!

Whether you’re a parent, player, or community member, your support makes a difference! Bring your friends, your family, and your enthusiasm – together, we’ll make our neighborhood shine and enjoy a day full of community spirit and soccer joy.

OUR INITIATIVE AND VISION

We are passionate about extending our contribution to the surrounding environment consisting of the communities in which our young soccer players and their families reside. We are grateful to our parents and young soccer players for choosing DC Way Academy and most importantly, for trusting in us. As an expression of our gratitude, we are part of an environmental project to improve the surrounding areas in which our exemplary soccer players live and enhance their environmental quality of life.

OUR GOAL

DC Way Academy wants to grow with the community and with the children in the community. To thank the parents for their selection and trust, through this environmental initiative, we hope that the cleanliness of the streets surrounding our camp location will be improved, a clean community will be present, and a good environment for children to grow in will be maintained. DC Way Academy is not only a child's partner in developing soccer and cognitive skills but also a proud supporter of a child’s healthy growth and happiness.

WHY DO WE NEED YOU TO BE OUR VOLUNTEER?

At DC Way Academy, we have a passion for creating a positive relationship with both the sport of soccer and the surrounding community. As a part of generating this positive relationship with the surrounding community, we are committed to providing opportunities for our wonderful young players, families, friends, and neighbors to make lasting connections with our organization while actively engaging in keeping our community clean, safe, and healthy. We need your help and support to successfully make these community cleanup events the best they can be!

WHAT DO OUR VOLUNTEERS DO

At our community cleanup events, there will be different volunteer assignments, each collectively meeting the goal of keeping our selected community blocks clean. Volunteers will help guide and lead the clean-up event as well as participate in the clean-up activity.

Your participation as a volunteer will not only be an enjoyable experience but will most importantly, help improve the quality of life for our young soccer players!
