The Monk Botanical Gardens could not be the beautiful Gardens it is without volunteers helping in a variety of ways including weeding, planting, invasive species removal, raking and general clean-up. We are looking for individuals that love to get their hands dirty and enjoy being outside.

We offer opportunities for groups as well to come and help the Gardens from May-October. This is a great way for team building in your business or maybe a family day out giving back. We can accommodate 1hour-several days of activities.

Opportunity Details

Help us help others! In recognition of MLK Day of Service, The Media Foundation (an Oregon 501(c)3) will be sorting donated in-kind media. This is one step of many that ultimately allows us to turn donations into liquid assets, then donated to local nonprofits. It's a lot of work, and only possibly with the help of many hands.

HOW? You might ask. Media donations such as DVDs, CD, vinyls, and books are processed by volunteers and staff and sold online through websites such as Amazon, eBay, Alibris, Half.com, and others.

WHAT DO VOLUNTEERS DO? Volunteers assist by sorting inventory, alphabetizing media, cleaning, prioritizing, and filing the media we receive. You can volunteer 1 or 100 times! Volunteering is staged at our office, or offsite. Some groups would rather us come to them which we can do, and we bring tasks to keep everyone busy for hours. We look forward to connecting with you! Thanks!

Volunteer patrols form a central part of our effort to monitor pollution and prevent debris from contaminating our waterways. While on patrol, we keep an eye out for abnormal discharges and oil slicks, remove accumulated debris, and check for the application of best management practices by shoreline businesses.

Volunteers will be outfitted in double kayaks and paddle to a designated area of Lake Union to monitor water pollution and remove trash. If necessary, volunteers may help report pollution concerns to an appropriate agency.

Kayak cleanups are open to anyone over the age of 12 and no prior kayak experience is required. We will provide training and all necessary equipment. Kayakers must dress appropriately for the weather. Personal belongings can be stored in the NWOC office. A safety overview will be delivered before heading out.

To attend: Space is limited and filled on a first come, first served basis. Please visit our events page to register: https://pugetsoundkeeper.org/events/list/
