We’re thrilled that you’re interested in volunteering with Sustainable Sandhills! Our volunteers are integral to the success of our programs. With the help of selfless residents like you, we’re striving to create a “culture of sustainability” with resilient environmental, economic and social resources.

Garden gurus assist with community garden projects. These events happen occasionally in the spring and summer.
LITTER BUSTERS
Litter Busters participate in our monthly roadside litter collection events. These events typically occur on second Saturdays from 9 am to 11 am at various locations throughout the Sandhills.
Can’t attend a Litter Busters event? Contact us about checking out supplies such as litter grabbers, buckets and gloves.
If you are not comfortable attending a litter collection event, you can assist with other waste management projects. We also need volunteers to on-board businesses for our 5 For Friday campaign.
