Friendly, yet all we had to do was mainly keep the event free of trash. I did this with my teenage daughter and it was nice seeing everyone attending the event having such a good time.

Very good experience, made a ton of friends, and overall work experience was not only educational, it was fun. Personal provided cold water, and even lemonade. Snacks provided + gardening things.

It was pretty fun and awesome. I helped out with the Easter event so I had to deal with kids. The kids were nice as well as the other volunteers.

It would be nice to have letter of appreciation at the completion of the event. It helps to have documented acknowledgment for volunteer work because it benefits the volunteer in one way or another.

It's an opportunity to give back to the community

I would recommend this to anyone because I love how there's so many choices to choose from. They all work with your schedule and you can pick and choose what you apply for to fit your personality. This is my first time using this website but I'm excited to hear something back so I can start participating.

Been fun to help out. Helped set up connecting the garden hoses from the water tank, watered the native plants, and planted some new ones.

I enjoyed the conservation and restoration aspect of the volunteer work. It gave me a chance to do my part to help the environment and my community.
