Volunteer

Caring for public spaces is an all-hands activity. From Spring through Fall, we offer several opportunities for you to get involved, whether that’s hands-on work in the park, or helping Fort Greene Park Conservancy run our many public programs. From individuals to corporate groups, there’s an opportunity for everybody.

Individual or volunteer groups can join volunteer for events here. Groups must fill out an event request form to schedule an opportunity.

Volunteer in Fort Greene Park

Thank you for your interest in helping us steward, beautify, and maintain Brooklyn's first park!

The Conservancy started as a group of volunteer gardeners working to beautify Fort Greene Park, and today, volunteers are some of the most important partners we have in building a better park.

There are plenty of opportunities for individuals and groups to get their hands dirty in Fort Greene Park and spend some quality time with their neighbors, classmates, or co-workers. Whether you are a local resident or student looking for community service hours, or a corporate office in search of an amazing day of team-building, we are happy to help create the perfect volunteer experience custom-tailored to your needs!
