Event Assistants needed!

Save to Favorites

We need your help to restore local natural spaces!

Every spring and fall Great River Greening holds outdoor events where people come from near and far to get their hands dirty and restore public natural spaces. Events range in size from 50 to 350 people who work together to remove brush, stabilize shorelines, and plant trees and flowers ( www.greatrivergreening.org/vol-events)

We need to track all of the people who participate in these events, make sure everyone is energized with food and water, and generally keep an organized and comfortable atmosphere for these very hard working volunteers. This is where you come in!

Opportunities:

• Pre-event set-up (help hang signs, set up tables and chairs)
• Check in volunteers as they arrive (welcome and inform volunteers, keep track of attendance)
• Lunch serving (help set-up lunch space, receive lunch delivery, serve food to volunteers in sanitary and organized fashion)
• Post-event clean-up (tear down tables and chairs, help box up supplies)

Check out our current list of events at www.greatrivergreening.org/vol-events. From here, you can search our events and register as a restoration volunteer or an event assistant. Contact Katie Brom, Volunteer Events Manager, at kbrom@greatrivergreening.org or 651-272-3989 with questions.

Other notes and considerations:

• Time commitments generally range between 1 to 3 hours
• All events are held outdoors, most are held under a pavilion or large event tent
• Because of scheduling, you can volunteer as BOTH an Event Assistant and a Restoration Volunteer at the same event!
• Most Event Assistant tasks can be done while seated
