Evergreen

 What You Bring:  

• You’re comfortable getting your hands dirty (we can provide gloves!) and doing physical work in small groups. 
• You’re willing to work in some inclement weather (e.g. light rain).  
• No experience necessary.  
• All ages are welcome. Volunteers 14 years old and under are required to volunteer alongside a parent or guardian. 

Note: While it is recommended that volunteers bring valid proof of vaccination along with them, masking is a valid substitute in this case. Volunteers are encouraged to monitor for any symptoms and refrain from attending if they are feeling unwell.  

When and Where:  This opportunity takes place at Evergreen Brick Works (550 Bayview Ave) on Saturday April 22nd. We will schedule 2 shifts for the day: 11am-12pm and 12pm - 1pm. Volunteers are able to join us for one or both shifts! Be sure to arrive on time so you’re part of the intro/debrief for the shift!  

Commitment: Because of limited spaces, volunteers are asked to sign up only if they are confident in being able to attend.  

How We'll Support You: At the beginning of each shift volunteers will learn more about the clean-up and health and safety protocols. Volunteers will be supported by staff and volunteer leads throughout the shift.  

Perks: Volunteers can take pride in knowing you’re helping to enhance the beauty of the Brick Works site for everyone to enjoy. Join a team of like-minded individuals who support flourishing cities. Enjoy being outdoors! As always, t-shirts, 15% discount on Evergreen Garden Market purchases, and up to 20% off on Evergreen's Active Living Discount Card, are just some of the many ways we thank our volunteers who contribute 20+ hours in a season.  

• You’ll need to dress for the weather, as we work through light rain or shine. Sturdy shoes (closed toe) are required. 
• We may reach out to volunteers with updates about unexpected shift cancellations, reminders to come prepared, etc.   
• We anticipate the site will be quite busy (Earth Day Activities, Farmers Market and Noodle Fest, etc.) We recommend that volunteers explore alternate ways of getting to site (walking, cycling, public transit) as parking and shuttle services will likely be busy.  
• Volunteers will be asked to sign-in with staff at Tiffany Commons (near the Watershed Wall) at Evergreen Brick Works.  

Getting here: Evergreen runs a free shuttle bus from Broadview subway station. The shuttle schedule can be found here on our website. Volunteers can also take the 28A Bayview South bus from Davisville Station which regularly stops at EBW. Paid parking is also available to staff, volunteers, and visitors.
