Earth Day Celebration

Seattle

April 26, 2025 at 7:00:00 AM

Happy Earth Month! In appreciation for our planet, Seattle VTSeva volunteers got together to celebrate by planting and tending to the nature in our local gardens! Volunteers planted leeks and used companion planting to help nearby plants grow stronger by pairing them with helpful plant species. Our volunteers also learned about the Olla watering system, using clay pots in mud to effectively conserve and water nearby plants. With compost made from bamboo shoots, grass clippings, and dried branches, we helped nourish the Earth from the roots up. Let’s take a moment to appreciate our planet and find our own way to give back whether it's through planting, enjoying the beauty around us, or making small changes to live more sustainably!

This weekend, our youth came together to create something truly special in honor of Mother’s Day! 💖 They designed personalized photo frames featuring a custom Mother’s Day visual tribute created by our youth board member Sathkrith Segu, beautifully reflecting VT Seva’s values of love, gratitude, and family. These thoughtful gifts were presented to their moms, capturing cherished memories in a creative and heartfelt way. In the spirit of giving back, the youth also made handmade cards for seniors in memory care centers. Each card was decorated with care and included a touching poem, sharing warmth and love beyond their own homes. We’re so proud of our youth for celebrating not just their own families, but the wider community too. 💐💙🧡 #VTSeva #MothersDay #YouthForService #GratitudeInAction #CelebrateMoms

Beutify San Jose Volunteering

Branch

Bay Area

May 10, 2025 at 7:00:00 AM

This weekend, VTSEVA volunteers proudly took root in San Jose by participating in a meaningful City Forest tree planting event. With shovels in hand and passion in our hearts, we rolled up our sleeves and worked side by side to help beautify and restore our local environment. In addition to planting trees, we also painted benches and picked up litter, contributing to a cleaner, greener, and more inviting community space. From digging and mulching to adding fresh coats of paint and clearing debris, every action we took made a visible impact. The day was filled with purpose, teamwork, and environmental stewardship, reminding us that small efforts—when done together—can grow into lasting change. We’re proud to be part of a movement that strengthens both our environment and our community—one tree, one bench, and one act of service at a time.
