VOLUNTEER - GREEN TEAMS

Green Teams events provide a unique opportunity for your employees to get outside and make an impact together!

The Chicago Parks Foundation's corporate give-back program connects our team with yours for a personalized park enhancement experience at a location in need. 

CPF staff meet you on-site with all supplies in hand to lead you through a two-hour volunteer event. Activities will be decided in advance and may include trash pick-up, tree mulching, or replenishing playlot woodchips.

When you join CPF as a Green Team, you are supporting the 501c3 partner of the Chicago parks. Your involvement makes vital park projects and programs possible, including our citywide Pitch In for the Parks effort of thousands of community volunteers!
