Looking for fun, fresh air, and a chance to make a difference? Then consider volunteering at Discovery Green! There are a number of opportunities throughout the week that your support at Discovery Green would be most appreciated.

If you are interested in any of the volunteer opportunities below, please complete our Volunteer Form and submit.

The four main opportunities for volunteers include:

Thursday Concerts Series

The Thursday Concert Series at Discovery Green takes place Thursday evenings in the Spring and Fall. Volunteers are needed to help with one or all of them—whatever best fits your schedule.

Volunteers are needed on Thursdays from 5:45 p.m. until about 8:00 p.m. After you volunteer, stay and enjoy the music and dancing! 

We ask that volunteers:

• Greet guests as they come into the park.
• Hand cards to each guest with a cooler explaining park rules.
• Help guide seating on the hill.
• Help staff with a marketing table to distribute programming brochures, selling Discovery Green items and collecting email addresses.

Recycling Saturdays

Recycling at Discovery Green takes place every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Recycling volunteers help patrons take items out of their cars so they don’t have to park to recycle. Volunteers will also help ensure that the items are put into the correct recycling bins. Volunteers choose between two shifts: 10 a.m. - 12 noon or 12 noon- 2:00 p.m.

Wednesday’s Blues & Burgers

Blues & Burgers concerts take place Wednesdays at noon in the Spring and Fall. Volunteers help staff with a marketing table to distribute programming brochures, sell Discovery Green merchandise and collect email addresses for the park’s weekly e-blast. Volunteers are needed Wednesdays from 11:45 a.m. 1:15 p.m.

Special Events

There are a variety of Special Events at the park. They are generally held on Fridays and Saturdays in the Spring and Fall. Each one is different and unique, so volunteer duties will vary.

General Volunteer Information

Volunteers should arrive about 10-15 minutes before their shift to allow time to go into the office, meet the Discovery Green volunteer leader, get a Volunteer T-shirt and instructions. Parking is $1.25 per hour at the meters Monday through Saturday (and free after 6p.m.) around the park. Parking lots are about $5.00 and up. Always read the posted signs, which supersede any instruction from park staff.
