The University of Memphis :: Adopt-a-Street

Adopt-a-Street is an on-going service program for student organizations at the University of Memphis. Student organizations are paired with a street adjacent to the University’s main campus. Each organization is responsible for conducting two sidewalk clean-ups each semester and participating in one collaborative beautification project each semester. Our goal is to create a sense of place and ownership within the University West district.
