Get Involved
OlyEcosystems’s work to preserve, protect, and restore urban ecosystems is only possible with the help and support of a great number of donors and dedicated volunteers. We are enormously grateful for your generous support, and for your participation in our work parties. Ways to share your time, talents, ideas and energy are listed below. If you have an idea and don’t see it below, please contact us!
Volunteer
We have regular volunteer work parties year-round. Check our Events calendar. Come for as long or short a time as you’d like. The tasks range from easy to more strenuous, physically. So whatever time and energy you have, we can use you!
We also have varied tasks (ongoing, occasional, one time) that need some extra hands, everything from lending a hand with paperwork, doing research, helping us connect with people who would be interested in our work, helping with fund-raising events. Reach out if you have some time and skills to share!
Join the board
Our board meets once per month. If you are interested in serving on our working Board, please reach out to us about applying or attending a meeting to learn more about what we do and how we operate as a non-profit organization.
JOIN A COMMITTEE
Community members may serve on working committees. To learn more about OlyEcosystems and what we do, reach out if you are interested in joining a committee for a season.
spread the word
We are a community-based organization that thrives because of the good words our volunteers and supporters share about us to those in your communities. Share the good news about our work through word of mouth, interact with us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, or bring a friend to one of our events.
ARE YOU AN EDUCATOR?
Bring your class to one of our sites or organize a group volunteer day. Contact us for more information.
