Volunteer with your corporate team, community group or organization
The San Lorenzo River is a vital freshwater source that supports critical habitat for native species of birds, bugs and fish. The park that lines the river’s banks, the Santa Cruz Riverwalk, is a public space where everyone can reconnect to nature and one another in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz. As a local non-profit committed to realizing the vision of a cleaner, healthier, safer and more vibrant San Lorenzo River and Santa Cruz Riverwalk, we are here to facilitate your group or team in activity that further connects you to one another and to your environment. If you’re looking for group volunteer opportunities in Santa Cruz, then join a growing group of corporate teams and community groups making a difference for the San Lorenzo River, Santa Cruz and each other.

One of the best parts about volunteering with CWC was meeting people from my organization with a shared passion about the San Lorenzo River. I found out that some of the people I worked with for years but have never gotten to know have a commitment to the river and to giving back to their community. It was wonderful to not only get to know my coworkers a little better but also to learn that they are committed to Santa Cruz and to giving back to the river. Now when I see those faces in the hall, I feel that we have a little bit of a shared connection.
It was a great experience and it felt good to know that we did this together as a team and that we helped make a difference. No matter what our reasons for being there that day, we worked together as a team and we had fun doing it! Every time I drive that way, I always look at the parklet to see how it is doing and if it is still doing okay. It means a lot to me to know that one day that this little parklet will grow into something even more beautiful. Hopefully, it will grow into a beautiful little parklet that other people of Santa Cruz can enjoy as well as being beneficial to the environment.
