A joint project of the Volunteer Centers and Santa Cruz County, The Graffiti Removal Project offers a variety of graffiti free services to community members in the unincorporated area of our county. Our purpose is to organize volunteers to eliminate graffiti from our neighborhoods.
Community Paint-Outs
We regularly sponsor community paint-outs, bringing together groups, families, and community members to take action within neighborhoods. We organize the event, provide the paint and equipment, negotiate with property owners, and provide insurance for the volunteers.
Prevention Packets
Property owners and businesses can request a packet of information on strategies to reduce the incidence of graffiti through the use of of lighting, special paints, murals, and paintings.
Project Neighborhood Pride
Adopt a neighborhood and pledge to keep it clean and graffiti free. We will provide the material and training to support pride teams.
Graffiti Hotline
Concerned citizens are welcome to call the graffiti hotline 24 hours a day to report graffiti in the community. It is quick, easy, and confidential. The hotline number is 426-0462 or 722-7771.
With dedicated effort and the practical strategies offered, community members can be the difference and help keep Santa Cruz County safe and beautiful. By volunteering, your not just donating your time to a good cause, your investing in your community.
