VOC is now accepting project applications and training applications for our 2025 season!
While applications are accepted on a rolling basis, we ask that you submit your application by September 15 to allow ample time for selection, scouting, and recruitment.
If you do not think you will be able to submit an application by September 15, please let us know that you are at least interested in a project by September 15 so we can put a placeholder in for you. You can email your project interest to Vanessa at vanessa and training interest to Ben at ben.
VOC can manage volunteers in many project types including: trail building and maintenance; developing and maintaining other recreational infrastructure; improving accessibility for parks, trails, and nearby nature; performing seeding, planting and erosion control tasks; habitat restoration efforts including noxious weed management and fence removal; wildfire mitigation and restoration; restoration of flood damaged places; deployment of crosscut and chainsaw crews; addressing urban air quality, heat islands and water quality; planting, maintaining, and harvesting urban food gardens and establishing new pollinator gardens; greening urban spaces; addressing environmental and human health in urban areas; community science data collection; and more.
