Opportunity Details
Garden At Gilbert Park SUN School (age 12+) *Stand Together Week*
Our beautiful Gilbert Park courtyard garden was established in 2012. With the help of community members and volunteers like you, we are able to maintain a safe outdoor learning area for our students and teachers to conduct lessons and connect with the outdoors.
During this project volunteers will assist with mulching, spreading bark chips, weeding, pruning, planting. Gilbert Park Elementary and IRCO partner to create a SUN Community School (Schools Uniting Neighborhoods). SUN schools align partners and resources to eliminate the barriers that keep our students from being successful in school and in life.
Stand Together Week is the Portland Timbers, Thorns FC, and T2 citywide volunteer initiative that brings the community together to support local nonprofit organizations. The week engages hundreds of supporters, including Timbers, Thorns FC, & T2 players, coaches, ambassadors and front office staff who work with various non-profits in the community. Since 2012, Stand Together Week participants have donated 15,371 hours of service at over 193 projects focused on benefitting youth and the environment.
