GET INVOLVED WITH
SUSTAINABLE STILLWATER MN

VOLUNTEER ON THE BOD

We are looking for dedicated community members that have time to be apart of our SSMN's working board of directors. Being apart of the board means being apart of the decision-making process and the strategic planning for SSMN. We need leadership and committed Stillwater residents on our communications, membership, and fundraising committees.

VOLUNTEER IN A WORKGROUP

We are always looking for volunteers to join a project within one of our workgroups. We value our volunteers and understand that everyone has a busy life; however, any assistance helps action move forward. SSMN is all about action and moving our beautiful city forwards into a healthy and resilient community that preserves our resources and environment.

ATTEND UPCOMING EVENTS

Throughout the year we host several events at various locations in Stillwater. These events range from utilizing muscles for cleanups and plantings to simply attending fun shows, fairs, or festivals.

​

Due to COVID-19, we do not have any upcoming events.

ADOPT-A-DRAIN

Be a model Stillwater resident: Keep your street gutter clean by sweeping it regularly on those dry days this spring, summer, and fall. Sign up at Adopt-a-Drain.org which is a metro-wide (and beyond) project. Be even more involved and contact us to get your adopted drain stenciled, get your photo taken for recognition, and receive doorhangers to tell others about the program. 

 MONITOR CIGARETTE CANISTERS

A Make America Beautiful grant was procured in 2019 to install cigarette disposal canisters around downtown Stillwater. The Natural Resources Work Group manages this project. If you are a local business owners, contact us and we will help set you up with a canister.

JOIN THE CLIMATE CORNER

Started by Mia Vaughan of Stillwater, Minnesota, to supplement climate action in major cities and Fridays For Future. Each individual Climate Corner is visited weekly to demand change in its locale, and to raise awareness in the general public. Create a sign and join then out at the Climate Corner!

BUY SSMN SWAG

Support SSMN by purchasing some swag. Our clothing is luxurious, strong, and soft, purchased from Econscious, an American company that specializes in sustainable apparel and accessories. Printing is done by Big Frog of Woodbury, which uses water-based (not oil-based) inks. All proceeds are distributed to fund various SSMN initiatives.

BEST HOME PRACTICES

This is one of the simplest ways to help out our cause. Support us by going out of your way to practice sustainability in your home and in your daily life. This can be done on a small scale like using reusable bags for groceries or on a large scale by supporting government candidates or programs that are focused on sustainability.
