Volunteer Opportunities

2026 Volunteer Opportunities

Connecting people and native plants for a healthy planet.
Please join us in this mission by volunteering at one or more of our upcoming Wild Ones River City Outreach Events. For those of you that are new or unfamiliar with our events, we often participate in community programs by setting up an information table, where we hand out informational guides and answer questions for those interested in natives. These events are fun, educational, and give us a chance to get to know our Wild Ones members as well as members of other organizations that embrace our mission. A board member will also be there, volunteering with you, bringing their knowledge, experience, and dedication to our mission.

Sign up to Volunteer through Sign Up Genius.
