Volunteer with the Coalition

The Midtown Greenway Coalition has many upcoming events that are in need of volunteers!  Please read through the following opportunities, and send a message to the email address posted after the event if you are interested in volunteering or have any questions.

Gardening Volunteers Needed on the Greenway

(theresa@midtowngreenway.org)
The plantings along the Midtown Greenway need some attention.  The weeds are taking over  and we must tackle them while we can.  Join us some weed pulling fun!

  • Tuesday, July 20th, 6:00 p.m.    Plantings near the Smith Foundry....many volunteers are needed for this one, bike by and see for yourself. Yikes!
  • Tuesday, July 27th, 6:00 p.m     Plantings on the south side of the trail in front of the Midtown Bike Center

Greenway Challenge

Saturday September 25th, three hour shifts from 1-9pm

(lauren@midtowngreenway.org)
   Help us support and cheer on participants of the first annual
   bike-a-thon in the Greenway.   The day will be filled with a number
   of ways to help out.  Mark your calendars and we'll find a job for you.

Tabling on the Greenway

Saturdays May through August, 12-3pm

(lauren@midtowngreenway.org)
   Many users of the Greenway are not aware of our work and are not
   members of our organization; help change that by spreading the word
   about all of our programs and important advocacy.

Ongoing:

  • Tabling
  • Newsletter Distribution
  • Greenway Glass Sweeper
  •  Adopt a Greenway
  • Trail Watch
  • Office work- preparing mailings, organizing, data entry, etc.
  • Attend safety committee and land use and transit committee meetings (check the calendar for updates)

If you are interested in any of the ongoing opportunities, e-mail Lauren@midtowngreenway.org, or call at 612-879-0106.
