Volunteers should be 14 and older, so this is a great opportunity for high school students, college students, teachers, or anyone who wants to lend a hand while learning about sustainability. No experience necessary — we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Sign up here to volunteer for one — or more — shifts this summer!
