The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space works with three local community gardens in the East Village/Lower East Side area, running workdays to ensure the gardens are clean and well-maintained. All of these workdays and events happen on the weekends, mostly Saturdays. These events are open to the public and operate on a volunteer basis. The community garden coordinator is responsible for ensuring that these workdays run smoothly. You will be responsible to show up half an hour early, communicate with project managers about the projects of the day, and set people up with tools and equipment to complete their projects. You will also help to promote these events to ensure community engagement. You don't need that much garden experience, and you will be trained on how each community garden functions.

Mission Statement
The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) seeks to preserve history and promote scholarship of grassroots urban space activism by researching and archiving efforts to create community spaces, focusing especially on the efforts in the East Village and Lower East Side. We will also exhibit materials that document these actions, to educate people on the political implications of reclaimed space.
Description
The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) is a living archive of the Lower East Side’s squats and gardens. Located in the storefront of a historic building in the East Village of New York, the museum displays materials such as photographs, posters, zines, underground newspapers, comics, banners and buttons that show how local residents cleaned up vacant lots and buildings in the area, and made them organizing spaces for the community. The museum also offers tours on Saturdays and Sundays, which lead participants to the East Village’s most legendary community gardens, squats and sites of social change, and explain their compelling and rich histories.
