Join the Green Kirkland Steward team!

Did you know that a fun and super dedicated team of 40+ super volunteers called Green Kirkland Stewards help engage our community in the restoration of over 500 acres of natural parkland in Kirkland?

If you’re interested in joining this volunteer team and have time for an ongoing role leading stewardship events in our parks please attend New Steward Orientation this September 2022!

Visit the Orientation event page to sign-up for all three parts of the training.

Part 1 : Program Overview and Restoration (Online) - Tuesday Sept 13, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.

Part 2: Field Training in Best Practices (In-person) - Saturday Sept 17, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm.

Part 3: Volunteer Management (Online) - Tuesday Sept 20, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.

Stewards bring a diversity of interests, skill, and time to our parks - we encourage all that are interested to attend orientation.

This free training is open to the public and no experience required. Following orientation, you can apply to become a Green Kirkland Steward.

Youth Volunteers: Per City requirements those under 18 please must have an adult over 18 attend all trainings and host events as a Steward alongside you.
