Volunteer at a Garden

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

  • Volunteer with the Community Gardening Program Advisory Board
  • Volunteer at the Gardens of Lake Merritt

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