Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Sign up for a watering shift at Kern Park through the group's sign-up link, or email info@arcadiacommons.us to ask about other volunteering..
Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Watering Kern Park is the only task the volunteer page names. The site does not say how long a shift runs, what to bring, or whether children can help, so ask before you go. No fee is listed for volunteering.
Tips for your first visit
- Kern Park is on Kern Street between East Huntingdon and East Sergeant streets.
- Ask the group what to bring, since the site lists no gear or age rules.
- Confirm the shift time and place by phone or email, because the sign-up page did not show a readable sheet on this visit.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The volunteer page invites neighbors to take part and posts a sign-up link. It does not describe what a volunteer shift is like..
