Volunteer

Nature in the City aims to create and connect resilient ecosystems and communities throughout San Francisco — and we can’t do it alone. Volunteer to help us ensure a healthy and biodiverse San Francisco now and for generations to come. Visit our Nature Walks & Events page to sign up for an upcoming workday.

Community Workdays

Our habitat stewardship workdays equip volunteers with the knowledge and resources they need to restore and keep habitats healthy in San Francisco. Together, we can conserve plants and wildlife, ensuring survival of San Francisco’s biodiversity and ecosystem health and providing access to nature for everyone. No experience necessary. Join one of our workdays and we’ll provide tools and teach you what you need to know to help nature thrive in our beautiful city.

Corporate Events

We welcome corporate and group volunteers who want to build their team’s camaraderie while restoring habitat — definitely a win-win! Get outside, take in the fresh air and natural beauty, and help us care for San Francisco’s nature. Ranging from 2–4 hours long, our volunteer opportunities require coordination, water, refreshments or lunch, supplies, and volunteer management. Contact us to design your custom event today.

General & Office Volunteering

With just a few staff members and interns, we rely on volunteers to help deliver our mission. No matter your experience, your time, ideas, and expertise help make Nature in the City a strong and impactful organization. Let us know if you are interested in joining our Advisory Council or supporting our fundraising, outreach, administrative, or communications efforts. And if you’re a student or just starting out on your career journey, maybe you’d like to join us as an intern or serve on our Youth in Action Council.
