Team RIVER volunteers help restore natural spaces and maintain gardens and park areas on Randall’s Island, with age, guardian-waiver, adult-supervision, and group-contact requirements.
Help restore and maintain Randall’s Island Park with Team RIVER; volunteers must be 11 or older, under-18s need a guardian-signed waiver, under-16s need an accompanying adult, and groups over five must contact the volunteer team.
Volunteer with Team RIVER (Randall’s Island Volunteer Ecological Restorers) and help keep Randall’s Island Park beautiful! Team RIVER Volunteers regularly work with the Natural Areas team twice a month to take care of and restore our natural spaces on the island. With our Horticulture team, volunteers care for the many gardens, green streets and meadows, every second Wednesday of each month. Team RIVER also works with our Sports Field and Operations teams, keeping our park clean and maintained. If you are only able to volunteer on a limited basis, you are still very much welcome! This volunteer opportunity is open to individuals from the community. Groups of more than 5 people must contact: Volunteers@RandallsIsland.org Volunteers must be at least 11 years old. Anyone under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by their legal guardian before starting any work. Children under 16 must also have an adult with them while volunteering.
