Tell us more about your group; the more information you can provide, the better! We will get back to you as soon as we can to confirm your inquiry and the next steps.

We can take preferences in to a park location and transportation restrictions, but projects are identified based on needs and priorities of the expansive Ann Arbor parks system. Remember, GIVE 365 brings all the necessary tools or supplies, but the volunteers bring the energy and heart!

If you have any additional questions before getting started, don't hesitate to contact us directly at volunteer@a2gov.org or 734.794.6445

We are up for anything!!

Playground resurfacing: A necessary and labor intensive job is providing the muscle needed to spread piles of woodchips (specially engineered for playgrounds) into the play area for added depth to the safety surfacing. It is hard work but our volunteers take much satisfaction in seeing the results. There are almost 80 playgrounds here in our city and our volunteers do an amazing job supporting the efforts to keep them all up to par!

Painting/stenciling: We identify graffiti prone areas and even have begun working on park bathrooms to transform the space into something more welcoming. We provide the stencils and paint colors and the volunteers always bring the creativity. No painting experience necessary although paint projects are geared for groups ages 18 and older and will need three hours dedicated to complete.

Facility landscape beautification: There are many facilities that need support with weeding and planter bed maintenance. We love to watch volunteers transform a space from "in need" to "looks cared for"!

Park clean-up: This can be a variety of tasks or any combination of needs, but often entails trash picking, weeding, and any general beautification.

Rain garden maintenance: Rain gardens need lots of care to keep them functioning as designed. Volunteers get their hands dirty removing invasive plant growth and tending to this valuable and environmentally conscience garden than adds beauty (when properly maintained) while diverting storm water.

River/Pond clean up: Each summer we take groups of volunteers onto the Huron River to help clean up trash that accumulates in and along the river. These trips are funded by a grant from the Michigan DEQ so volunteers do not have to pay for boat rentals. Groups can boat from Argo livery to Gallup livery, which takes about 3 hours, or can spend 1 or 2 hours in the area of river surrounding either livery. Volunteers pair up in a canoe with a trash picker in hand to retrieve trash. And yes, it is as fun as it sounds. These clean ups can accommodate groups of 6 to 20 people and are only scheduled during weekdays.
