Volunteer With US
Community Work in Action
Green Guerillas works alongside communities across New York City to support volunteer-led gardens as spaces for growing food, building relationships, and strengthening neighborhoods. These gardens serve as vital hubs where neighbors come together to share knowledge, care for the land, and create welcoming spaces rooted in collective stewardship. Through hands-on volunteer opportunities, youth development, garden support, and community organizing, we help build the skills, resources, and connections needed to sustain these spaces.
Together, this work ensures that community gardens remain accessible, resilient, and guided by local leadership—today and for generations to come.
Why Volunteer
Volunteering with Green Guerillas is a meaningful, hands-on way to support community-led gardens across New York City. By showing up for a volunteer shift, you help care for shared green spaces while building connections with neighbors, garden stewards, and fellow volunteers.
These gardens serve as important places for growing food, sharing knowledge, and fostering community resilience. Whether you’re new to gardening or bringing existing skills, your time and energy directly support the people and spaces that make neighborhood gardens welcoming, accessible, and sustainable for years to come.
