Join Our Volunteer Team
All volunteer activities take place on Town of Greenwich property, and everything we do improves our Town.
We work in partnership with the Town’s Parks Department, extending their efforts through volunteer projects that enhance and beautify public spaces beyond what the Town budget alone can support.
Our volunteers range in age from two to ninety-two!
Each volunteer event begins with a brief educational discussion about ways we can care for our local environment, including recycling, waste reduction, conservation, and other simple actions that make a difference.
