Great River Greening is preparing for its upcoming volunteer event season. We have plans to restore outdoor spaces in your area! In order to make our events successful, support our volunteers, and foster stewardship we are working to train more Volunteer Supervisors.
Our Volunteer Supervisors provide support and leadership at our volunteer and youth events. The volunteer supervisor will lead a group of 5-15 volunteers at GRG events. One training every 2 years is all we ask of you! Our trainings for Spring 2024 will be on Thursday, February 8 and Tuesday, March 5 from 6pm –7:30pm on Zoom (no need to even leave your couch).
