What is MyC3? 

The MyC3 Program connects residents, businesses and community organizations with opportunities to improve neighborhoods and public spaces throughout Commerce City. Whether volunteering at community beautification projects, participating in neighborhood initiatives or supporting city-led programs, MyC3 empowers everyone to make a positive difference. When we work together, we create safer neighborhoods, stronger connections and a community we're proud to call home.

What is a pollinator garden?

Pollinator gardens provide habitat for bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects that help support healthy ecosystems. Native plants require less water, provide food and shelter for wildlife and create beautiful outdoor spaces for the community to enjoy. Together, volunteers will help create a landscape that benefits both people and nature.

Volunteer Opportunity

Volunteer registration is required but no experience is necessary! Volunteers will receive instruction, tools and supplies before beginning work. Participants may assist with one of four teams, reflecting the operational structure outlined in the project plan.

• Site Preparation Team: Help prepare the planting beds by removing weeds, loosening soil and getting the garden ready for planting.
  
  
• Planting Team: Install native flowers, grasses and pollinator-friendly plants following the garden design.
  
  
• Mulch & Habitat Team: Spread mulch, install natural habitat features and support watering efforts.
  
  
• Education & Support Team: Welcome volunteers, assist with supplies, install educational signage and help document the event through photography and outreach.

Registration & Waiver

All volunteers must register before the event. Registration includes volunteer information, team preference, emergency contact, required liability waiver, media release, and minor consent (if applicable).
