Looking to Volunteer with Your Team?
We Can Help!
The San Diego River Park Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring the San Diego River and creating the San Diego River Park. For decades, we have been engaging volunteers of all ages in meaningful hands-on projects.
We can work with your company, club or group to design a custom volunteer experience that suits your team, so you can get outside and make an impact together! We can be your one-stop shop, handling permits, tools/supplies, event leadership, and more!

Take on a special beautification project like a mural, building a new raised planter bed or kiosk, and beyond. We are always planning new projects!
Let's Get the Conversation Started!
In order to serve you and your group, let's start a conversation so we can learn a little more about your group:
-
- Number of volunteers: we can work with groups from 10-150+
- Ages of participants: we can host events for adults, or for family groups with kids
- Preferred date: are you looking at a particular date or day of the week?
- Time: most of our partners are looking for events that are 2-3 hours, but we can customize the event to fit your needs
- Geographic preference: near your office? Near the beach or in the mountains? (Or are you open to anything?) Let us know!
- Your budget: custom events typically start at $2,500 but may vary depending on activity and group size
- Make it a family affair: Customize your event by adding on a special youth nature education activity!
