How to Become a Volunteer

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS

Volunteers must be at least 15 years of age with adult supervision or 18 years of age or older and have the ability to withstand fluctuating outdoor environments.

Volunteers, or parents of volunteers, under the age of 18 should email volunteer@thegreenproject.org for more information.

First time?

First time volunteers should fill out the Volunteer form to the right. We’ll get in touch with details on attending an orientation at the Green Project, where you’ll learn about our store, safety tips, meet the team and complete our volunteer waiver.

After orientation, you can volunteer at the Green Project between 10am-4pm Monday through Saturday. Volunteers are free to choose the day(s) and time(s) they wish to help out, though we ask that you give us advanced notice so that we have time to prep volunteer activities.

What to Wear and Bring

Volunteers should:

  • Wear clothes that can get dirty or paint stained

  • Wear closed toed shoes

  • Dress for the weather

  • Bring a reusable water bottle (cold, filtered water provided)

  • Bring snacks, especially if volunteering for 2+ hours

  • Apply sunscreen and bug spray regularly (both provided, but we recommend bringing extra)
