Group Volunteer Events

Looking to volunteer as a group? We offer two options:

  • Attend one of our planned public events on our volunteer calendar. These can often accommodate large groups. Please complete our online registration and contact the event lead to let them know you would like to bring a group.
  • Fill out our Group Volunteer Event Application form. We will follow up within 5 business days and require 4-6 weeks lead time to coordinate a private group volunteer activity.

Completing the application form does not guarantee that we can fulfill your request, but we'll work with you to find alternative options if possible. Please note that we may not have volunteer opportunities available due to factors such as the time of year, permitting, and available resources.

Thank you for considering joining us in our efforts to make a positive impact in our community and environment.
