Volunteer
Becoming a green schoolyards volunteer is a tremendous way to improve the public education experience for children and families in San Francisco. For information on our green schoolyards community workdays, please sign up to receive our e-newsletter.
To become an individual community volunteer, please contact the San Francisco Education Fund and let them know you are interested in volunteering in a green schoolyard. Individual school volunteers are required to attend the San Francisco Education Fund’s two-hour school volunteer orientation and to undergo a standard background check. Thank you for your interest in volunteering and please do not hesitate to contact us with questions.
