Group Volunteer Events
Gather your crew and work together on a fun service project that makes a difference in your parks and community! Our volunteer programs are great team experiences for community organizations, corporate groups, youth groups, schools, and faith groups. Get outside, get your hands dirty, and enjoy your parks.
No experience necessary. We provide all of the tools, training, and leadership.
GROUP VOLUNTEER EVENT
These two-hour service events are led by Rock Creek Conservancy staff and include all supplies and a brief presentation on how the volunteer efforts benefit Rock Creek and its parklands. Invasive removals are exclusively held at our mini-oasis sites throughout DC, whereas litter cleanups can take place at a broader array of sites throughout DC and Montgomery County. Private group volunteer events can be arranged for corporate groups, nonprofits, and schools. The Conservancy may be able to offer reduced rates to nonprofits and schools based on availability.
Requested donation – $1,500
Discounted rates may be available to nonprofits and schools based on availability.
Additional fees may apply based on the size of the group or for certain peak times of year (Earth Day or National Public Lands Day).
Final date and location are subject to approval by the National Park Service or Montgomery Parks.
Carter Barron Amphitheater Cleanup
Join Rock Creek Conservancy and the National Park Service for a cleanup of the Carter Barron Amphitheater. Volunteers will hear a brief presentation on the history of the Amphitheater and plans for revitalization. Volunteers will remove debris, paint, clear leaf litter, weed, sweep, and/or trim back invasive plants, helping preserve the amphitheater while it awaits future restoration. This is a unique opportunity to get a 'behind the scenes' look at the amphitheater and help take care of an important community resource.
Requested donation – $2,500
