Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Stop by the membership table at the Saturday farmers market, or email volunteer@friendsofclarkpark.org to ask about volunteering.

You can just show up.

What to expect

You can stop at the membership table at the Saturday farmers market to join or ask about volunteering. Dues are yearly: $10 at the lowest level and $25 for an individual. Board meetings are held online, and access is given on request by email to the president.

Tips for your first visit

  • Online membership sign-up asks for a birthdate, and you must be over 13 to join online.
  • Ask about the board meeting link by emailing the president through the group's Board Meetings page.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The membership table and volunteer email are public and say how to join; the site does not say newcomers are welcome in so many words..
