Why Volunteer?

You can drive impactful environmental change. This volunteer event is a unique opportunity to apply your skills towards PLP’s demonstration of energy efficiency and green urban living. It’s a chance to be part of a community of like-minded professionals dedicated to leveraging their expertise for the greater good. Create a tangible impact on our environment by helping this project build awareness of sustainable practices in urban settings.

Volunteer Activities Include:

  • Enhancing PLP’s landscape and accessibility with gravel and sand adjustments around paver walkways.
  • Preserving wooden walkways and a backyard gravel terrace through water sealing and board replacements.
  • General maintenance and cleaning to ensure PLP continues to shine as a model of green urban living.
  • Power-washing steppingstones and walkways to restore their luster.

Project Background

Between 1904 and 1914, the William Rockhill Nelson estate developed the homes along today’s Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd. A century later, MEC transformed one of those homes into Project Living Proof, demonstrating the practicality and beauty of sustainable living. With modern energy-generating equipment and energy-saving features, raised vegetable beds, fruit trees, and native flora, PLP is more than a house—it’s a statement on achievable green living in urban environments.

Join Us

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an enthusiast in sustainable building and design, your contribution is invaluable. This is more than a volunteer day—it’s a collaborative effort between caring people that paves the way for a greener, more sustainable Kansas City.
