Volunteering with The Riverwood Conservancy
Make a difference for your community, and the natural world
Volunteering with The Riverwood Conservancy can take many forms – gardening, wildlife monitoring, education, forestry, marketing, event planning, committee participation – but they all support one purpose: to create a community that lives in harmony with nature.
No matter how you get involved, you’ll be making a difference for our shared natural world. Gain new skills, put your existing ones to use, and create connections with caring people like you.
Summer High School Volunteer Program
Our Summer High School Volunteer Program is open to secondary students who want to have fun outdoors, be part of a team, and meet new people. The program is particularly helpful for students looking to complete their mandatory community service hours.
Participants in our Summer High School Volunteer Program make a positive impact on the local environment by supporting our conservation and horticulture programs. Volunteers take part in forest and wildlife monitoring, natural areas restoration, invasive species removal, gardening, and caring for fish and turtles.
The Summer High School Volunteer Program runs through July and August, and volunteers will have the opportunity to sign-up for as many shifts as they would like during those months.
Spaces in our Summer High School Volunteer Program are limited, and spaces are filled on a first come, first served basis.
