We will provide more details about the exact location and the nature of project work as we get closer to each date.

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

Ride & Report      

Commitment: 2 hours per month (any day or time)  –  Ride any 2 mile section of the Sand Creek trail and email a short report of any observed trail maintenance needs or other observations to Elena at esmith@sancreekgreenway.org.

Self-Led Trash Clean-Ups

No specific time commitment (any day or time) – Pick any section of the Greenway and pick-up trash you see along the trail. Notify SCRGP 7 days in advance and we will provide you with trash bags, trash pickers, and gloves and coordinate trash bag pick-up. Supplies will need to be picked up beforehand.

Spanish Translators

Commitment: 2-4 hours per month (during the work day or during special events)   –  Are you fluent in Spanish? We are always trying to make our materials available in Spanish as well as English.  Help us translate posters, signs, and pamphlets.
