If working with trees and connecting communities are two things that excite you, the Crew Leader volunteer role could be a great fit for you!
The Friends of Trees Neighborhood Trees Program is a program that plants 8'-12' tall street and yard trees in residential neighborhoods across Portland, Vancouver, WA, Oregon City, and Gresham. We pride ourselves on our amazing volunteers who plant these trees, the communities that come together for our Saturday planting events, and the care and investment each resident puts in to care for our city's urban canopy.
Crew Leaders are trained volunteers who are crucial to planting trees properly and leading groups of volunteers during the planting season. Friends of Trees will provide you with a comprehensive training and all we ask is that Crew Leaders commit to support us at at least 4 Saturday plantings during the planting season.
The November 3rd training is taking place in NE Portland. We have another Crew Leader training in Vancouver, WA on November 10th, if that works better for your schedule. Curriculum for each training is the same and once completed, you will be able to volunteer at Neighborhood Trees events throughout Portland, Vancouver, Gresham, and Oregon City!
