Our nonprofit drought tolerant community garden was formed in 2008 and has utterly changed several neglected patches of land into beautiful gardens. We are looking for a friendly, proactive volunteer coordinator to help organize our group of wonderful volunteers and help get stuff done in the garden. We have a great list of helpers but need to get them excited to come out and make a difference in our neighborhood.
Duties include emailing our email list, picking up refreshments for volunteer days (first saturday of every month from 10am-12pm), making sure volunteers have signed a waiver, Tweeting and/or Facebooking occasionally, and making sure people are happy and excited to help out! Duties can also include gardening work and help with grant applications if you like, though that's not required.
If you're interested, give us a shout!

About Pennsylvania Street Gardens
Location:
251 Pennsylvania Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94107, US
Mission Statement
To create beautiful public gardens for the Potrero Hill and Dogpatch neighborhoods in San Francisco. These gardens transform areas that were once filled with trash and crime into a beautiful place to take a walk, chat with a neighbor, get dirty gardening, or attend a community event!
Description
In December 2008, Annie Shaw, a long-time San Francisco resident, decided to take matters into her own hands. What started as a small gardening project to improve her street, quickly bloomed into a neighborhood garden with many local residents donating their time and plants.
Annie ensured the future of the garden by starting the non-profit Pennsylvania Street Gardens, and with the backing of over 250 neighbors, signed a contract with Caltrans, the San Francisco Department of Public Works and the San Francisco Parks Trust to maintain the garden.
Today, the garden has grown from a small idea to thousands of plants that now fill up almost an acre and a half in two locations: With additional financial support from the neighborhood and the city of San Francisco, Pennsylvania Street Gardens also created Pennsylvania Railroad Garden a block from the original garden. Come join us on the first Saturday of every month from 10am-12pm!CAUSE AREAS
