Volunteering during COVID-19

At Bridging The Gap, the well-being of our volunteers, staff, partners, and communities is our top priority, during the COVID-19 outbreak and always. We are closely monitoring the situation and adapting our volunteer workdays to reflect the latest guidelines from the CDC and local governments. Please read our current COVID-19 practices and policies.

Join us in creating an environmentally resilient community. 

Do you love being outdoors and connecting with nature? Are you driven to improve your community and the environment?  Come volunteer with us! Bridging The Gap not only educates the community about the environment, but also we engage people in taking action. Together, with our volunteers and program leaders, we do the physical work it takes to restore our environment by planting trees, picking up litter, removing invasive species, and much more. We engage 1,800 volunteers each year  – can you join us?
