Friday Volunteer Day

Description:

Volunteer to help us with maintaining our community compost site! Tasks look different each week based on what the site needs most.

Before the workday, we will send out an email outlining expected tasks. Some examples include turning a compost bin, feeding our worms, washing and pairing gloves, painting signs, weeding, organizing sheds, bagging compost, and helping out with animal care. Activities may change based on weather and what volunteers feel most comfortable with! We will meet at the Governors Island Ferry Terminal at 10 South St at 8:45 AM to board the 9 AM ferry. We will finish by 11:45 AM so that you can take the 12:15 PM ferry off the island.

We are happy to discuss possible accommodations. Prior to registration, please reach out to volunteer@earthmatter.org if you have accessibility concerns. 

We are sorry but this event is not yet open for registration.

You will be able to register starting September 23, 2026
