Volunteer

All opportunities are appropriate for complete beginners, but if you have a special skill you'd like to share, please let your shift leader know or reach out to volunteer@wyldecenter.org.

Accessibility of our sites is a work in progress but we will do everything we can to make all opportunities available. For more information about accessing a garden or to request accommodation, please reach out to volunteer@wyldecenter.org.

Opportunities are available for nearly any age group. For minors under the age of 16, we usually ask that a guardian be present, but please see details of the specific opportunity you are interested in. Minors under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by a guardian prior to volunteering.

Volunteering is a great way to practice language skills and make connections in a new community. Many of our shifts are led by Spanish-speaking staff members, which will be noted in the shift description for those opportunities. We do not require documentation or an i.d. (except on very rare occasions, where noted), although we do ask all volunteers to sign a liability waiver.

If you would like to schedule a volunteer opportunity for a specific group, please contact volunteer@wyldecenter.org.

If you want to volunteer with your group or organization, please sign up through our Hands On Atlanta page. If there are no appropriate events for your group, please reach out at volunteer@wyldecenter.org and we will happily work with you to place your group!

Youth groups: All of our gardens require at least one chaperone per ten youth volunteers. We may accept volunteers 7+ years old, but we prefer 12+ years old.
