Peace Mob Garden

Positive. Autonomous. Action. Force.

Peace Mob Gardens and Kearsley Park Block Redevelopment Project LLC. is looking to expand our volunteer work force for the 2012 gardening season. No matter how much “extra” time you may have to spend with us this summer and fall, we are always very grateful and thankful to our volunteers. Even as little as 1 hour a month gets us closer to the goals and saves the bodies of our residents from growing exhausted and over worked while adding diversity, new knowledge and enhanced skills to the efforts of Peace Mob Gardens.

Everyday is a work day and regularly scheduled events can be found on FB/peacemobgardens or our android phone calendar synch at peacemobgardenscalendar@google.com-Password is required so please contact Jerin Sage or Phillip Jacks on FB to be added to the list. We also offer a mass text message update for all of our events, activities and accomplishments (regular carrier rates and charges apply) that you can join by sending “ADD (Your Full Name) PMG” to (810) 429-7729. To cancel these updates send “STOP (Your Full Name) PMG” to (810) 429-7729 at any time.

We are located on the 1400 block of Illinois Avenue in Flint, Michigan and encourage all of you to come enjoy the many wonderful projects and people that together make the Peace Mob. All ages are welcomed however, children under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present. We have a security and liability waiver that all volunteers and visitors must sign to ensure the safety and level of responsibility required to participate in any activities that Peace Mob Gardens may host. Regularly scheduled educational workshops for people of all ages are offered free of charge on a first come first serve basis and special reservations can be made for private groups with specific educational needs or goals for a fee (charges will be based off of the cost of needed supplies and materials for your group and rental of the needed space/time).

What do we need you to do?

Every Single Bit of Effort, Attention, or Action that is devoted to the ideas of Positive Autonomous Action (Peace Mob) is needed to help influence members of our community to step up and make the changes that are necessary for a more positive and prosperous future. Too vague? We need Leaders and Followers, Movers and Shakers, Students and Teachers, Business Professionals and Professional Businesses. In other words, we need people from all walks of life with diverse interests and information that can add to our amazing and dedicated crew. We need coordinators for tours, work-days and work-shops. We need laborers to help weed, mow, plant and train our many lots. We need builders to help build the many projects/ideas that are in progress or to come. We need creators to establish new ideas, concepts and projects to share with our community. We need technical support to help manage and organize the mailing lists, internet presence, digital media and community outreach efforts. We need artists to come decorate and manifest dreams of beautification. We need innovative and creative people that are not afraid to get up, stand up and get in this fight against poverty, failing education systems and community decay. Do Not Feel Limited or out of options. Do Not Allow yourself to be told ,”There’s nothing to do” or “it’s too late”. Do Not Think or believe that you cannot make a difference in this world. Do Not give up. Do Not give in. You can be part of a Positive Autonomous Action Force…Most of you that are reading this are a piece of The Peace Mob already…you just didn’t know that this ideology has already been defined and actively collecting like-minds.
