Support Your TEEN DAY Model United Nations Team AND Get Your Leaves Raked

Need your leaves raked? Your bushes pruned? Your garden weeded?

Sign up to have your yardwork done FOR YOU Friday, November 6. Not only will you be able to check those chores off your list, but your financial donation will go toward supporting TEEN DAY’s Model United Nations team!

This March, TEEN DAY is sending a team of high schoolers to participate in National High School Model United Nations Conference in New York City!Conference attendance is not cheap, and, in the case of a homeschool team, members are expected to pay their fees out-of-pocket. To offset these costs and make the program accessible to all those who want to participate, the team is offering their yardwork services NOVEMBER 6!

We offer a flat rate for the following services:

  • $100 for leaf raking and bagging for city-sized lot (~.25 acres or smaller)*
  • $180 for leaf raking and bagging for large lots (~.26-.5 acres)*
  • $60/hr pruning or weeding work (no trees)*

*Homeowners will need to provide leaf bags or a place onsite leaves should be piled. Team will provide rakes and tarps; any other needed tools must be provided by homeowner.

A team of 2-6 people (depending on the size of the project) will be sent to your home on Friday, November 6 between 10am and 4pm. An adult will supervise the project sites and help liaise with homeowners. Checks made out to “TEEN DAY Ithaca” can be left in an obvious location for collection or paid when the team arrives to do the work. Donations can also be made via PayPal using THIS LINK.

To request a team to help at YOUR Fall Creek, Northside, or South Hill home, email ModelUN@teendayithaca.org or text ‪(607) 269-5102‬. There are only a handful of slots available, so sign up NOW!
