Get involved

GreenHere is always in need of support, and our volunteers have made a great difference in reaching out to their neighbours and improving the community. Volunteers can help us once in a while or on a regular basis. Opportunities include going door-to-door with our Urban Foresters and speaking with residents in their perferred languages about the importance of trees in the community as well proper tree care. Other opportunities include helping us conduct a tree inventory of the neighbourhood, corporate volunteer days, translating materials, and assisting with events and workshops.

Corporations or individuals interested in becoming a volunteer is asked to contact GreenHere to set up an orientation session, where applicants will be provided with volunteer application forms and information regarding the various volunteer opportunities available. GreenHere also welcomes students in need of fulfilling their placement requirements.
