What are Creek Crew Leaders:
Johnson Creek Watershed Council (JCWC) Creek Crew Leaders are a HUGE piece of the restoration work at Johnson Creek! We work with thousands of volunteers each year and with a small staff, we can’t function without the community support of volunteers like you to teach and lead in our restoration events!



Creek Crew leaders choose at least 4 volunteer days a year to help guide small groups of volunteers for our native plantings, invasive species and trash removal parties throughout the year. They are also a crucial element of our larger events such as our Watershed Wide Event (in March) and the Johnson Creek Clean-Up (in August).



JCWC’s Creek Crew expands our capacity for facilitating restoration events throughout the year – we couldn’t do it without you!



Why be a Creek Crew Leader:



-Have fun outdoors with cool people!
-Develop and practice leadership skills
-Learn about ecology and restoration practices
-Make friends and professional connections from different backgrounds
-Gain familiarity with Pacific Northwest plant and animal species
-Get a reference for applications to college, jobs, or scholarships
-Receive sweet Johnson Creek swag



Who are Creek Crew Leaders: 



-A new or returning Johnson Creek Watershed Council volunteer
-Over 18 – OR – you are under 18 but paired with a parent or guardian as a Creek Crew team
-Excited to attend at least 4 volunteer events (especially Watershed Wide Event, March 4th and/or Johnson Creek Cleanup in August)
-Able to fill out a Portland Parks and Recreation (PP&R) code of conduct, volunteer application, and background check



* We work on PP&R sites in much of our habitat enhancement. To lead volunteers on PP&R sites, they do require background checks. We will get the forms to Creek Crew applicants via email. If you do not feel comfortable going through a background check but still want to volunteer, contact Monica@jcwc.org and we can discuss your options!
