Volunteer Opportunities with Community Garden

Volunteering with the City of Oakland Community Gardening program is a great way to get involved with your community and meet people.

There are five regularly scheduled volunteer days every month occurring on Saturdays. Simply show up and lend a hand if you would like. There will be someone at each of these days to sign off on service hours.
