Go Green, Get Involved: Roscoe Village Neighbors Rallies the Community for Clean & Green Day and Fresh Board Elections

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Roscoe Village · May 16, 2026

Spring is in full swing in the 'Village Within the City,' and Roscoe Village Neighbors (RVN) is making sure the community has plenty of reasons to roll up its sleeves and get involved. Two exciting initiatives are on the horizon for local residents: RVN's annual Clean and Green Day — a beloved neighborhood beautification tradition — and a fresh round of Board of Directors and Junior Board elections that are opening the door for neighbors to help shape the future of the organization.

Clean and Green Day is exactly what it sounds like: a community-wide effort to spruce up the streets, green spaces, and common areas that make Roscoe Village such a special place to live. It's the kind of hands-on, neighbors-helping-neighbors event that defines the Village's spirit. And with RVN's 2026 Board of Directors Election and Junior Board Elections now underway, there's a rare chance for residents of all ages to step into a leadership role and have a direct voice in the neighborhood's future. RVN's mission — bringing neighbors together to achieve and preserve a vibrant community for living, working, learning, and playing — is only as strong as the people who power it.

Whether you want to grab a pair of gardening gloves for Clean and Green Day or throw your hat in the ring for a board seat, now is the perfect time to deepen your roots in Roscoe Village. Visit roscoevillage.org to learn more about both opportunities and get connected with the community.
