The sponsoring organizations make a commitment to clean/maintain the designated area, and are recognized with signs which credit them with providing this service to the community. The program developed for the City of San Bernardino provides for clean-up and maintenance activities, as well as graffiti removal, if required. Sponsoring organizations make application for the one year commitment through the Volunteer Coordinator in the Mayor's Office, and are given clear guidelines for participation in the program.
