Envision this: fresh air, amazing vistas, open spaces and rugged trails, like-minded outdoor enthusiasts to your left and right, some dirt under your fingernails and maybe some sore – and stronger – muscles tomorrow... sound like your kind of morning? If you enjoy being outside, don’t mind mild to strenuous physical tasks, and are ready to learn and dive in, this could be the volunteer role for you!

We're seeking volunteers to contributes their time and efforts to assist the City of San Luis Obispo’s Public Utilities Department at our Whale Rock Reservoir facility location with hand-built sections of trail construction and maintenance projects sometimes involving the proper usage of weed abatement tools like string trimmers under the training, guidance, and supervision of City staff.

Due to the nature of this role, volunteers must be 18+. All individuals, regardless of age will need two things at minimum: an Engage SLO profile and Volunteer Waiver completed. Please contact [email protected] with any questions at least 10 business days in advance of scheduled service day.
