Downtown Green Team

The Downtown Green Team helps keep downtown’s public spaces spruced-up and beautiful, while helping out with various events. Consisting of community volunteers, the group assists in downtown beautification efforts and local experiences. Examples of Green Team initiatives include planting and pruning, trimming, painting, litter removal, infrastructure audits, hospitality greeters, event volunteers, and more.

Have an hour to spare here, there, and throughout the year?

Join the Downtown Green Team e-mail list to receive updates on future volunteer opportunities. You can participate as often as you’d like, with no set commitment!
