Volunteering with Denver Urban Gardens

Volunteering with Denver Urban Gardens is a wonderful way to connect with and give back to your community. From drop-in days to long term projects, from digging in the dirt to helping in our office, we have volunteer opportunities that suit a wide variety of abilities and interests. Click the links to below to learn more about each volunteer opportunity, or to fill out volunteer interest forms.

Many volunteer opportunities are seasonal, and we are not always able to fill volunteer requests right away. If you need immediate assistance, please contact the Denver Urban Gardens office at 303.292.9900 and ask to speak to the coordinator of the program you are most interested in volunteering with.
