Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Opportunities for Your Organization

Volunteering is a great way to get involved in your downtown community! It’s fun, healthy, and makes a visible difference in Downtown Providence.

The Downtown Providence Parks Conservancy provides volunteer opportunities for businesses, organizations, service groups, schools and individuals. All skill levels are welcome and no formal training is required.

We have a wide variety of available projects and can accommodate groups of all sizes. Some of the projects completed in the past include:

  • Painting fences and benches
  • Planting flowers
  • Picking up trash and litter
  • Preparing the Imagination Center for summer programming
  • Weeding both weekly and monthly
  • Helping at special events

If you have an idea for a project that your group is interested in, please let us know and we will work to accommodate it.

Additional Information:

Every volunteer group needs to have a designated Point of Contact who will communicate with DPPC staff and be on-site during the event.

All of our projects occur outdoors. We will always schedule a rain date, and ask groups to commit to both dates.

Volunteers are required to wear closed-toed shoes and should dress appropriately for the weather in clothes that can get dirty.

If you would like to provide lunch for your volunteers, Food Trucks are often on site (please ask so we can confirm) and tables and chairs can be arranged in Burnside Park.
