Housed in our 'Outdoor Allies' Program, the Beautification Volunteer Opportunity is ideal for Central Coast community members who love to serve in an outdoor environment year-round and leave an area better - more beautiful - than they found it. While it's said, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," the City of San Luis Obispo strives to keep public spaces clean, safe, and and enjoyable for all who visit and maintain high standards of care carried out by volunteers and staff. Different from the Adopt-a-Park Volunteer Opportunity, this role serves city-wide areas like downtown, residential neighborhoods, open spaces, tree plantings/care, and roadways.
A Beautification Volunteer shift may include:
- Planting and tending to native plant species
- Raking leaves
- Clearing out shrub beds
- Weed removal
- Painting projects
- Graffiti & debris removal
- Tree planting and providing ongoing tree care/maintenance
- ... and more!
All essential tools and resources are provided by the City of San Luis Obispo. No previous experience needed and 'on-the-job' & safety training are provided by City staff once volunteers are onboarded. Volunteers will receive more details via a confirmation email and are welcome to reach out to the Volunteer Program ([email protected]) with any questions or ideas not listed above to add more beauty to San Luis Obispo.
This is a great opportunity for youth, families, members of gardening clubs, and outdoor enthusiasts!
