Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering is essential to keeping the Esplanade clean and beautiful. We would like to thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Esplanade Association (EA)! Volunteering on the Esplanade is a great way to get some fresh air and spend time outdoors while making a visible difference in the park!
EA has opportunities for corporate and non-corporate groups throughout the year, as well as for individual volunteers on Saturdays. Working alongside EA staff, volunteers participate in a host of park beautification and maintenance projects including planting native species, managing invasive species and weeds, raking leaves, removing litter, and painting park benches. Volunteer project activities vary by season.
Groups/Corporate Volunteering
Bring your company’s employees to volunteer on the Esplanade as part of our award-winning Volunteer Program!
Volunteering with the Esplanade Association is a great way to build your team while participating in a visible corporate philanthropic effort to benefit a local nonprofit.
Volunteers report a sense of pride caring for a public space that they are likely to return to with friends and family.
