Throughout the year RiverLink hosts many volunteer events that are open to anyone who wants to help out. There’s no experience needed for these events, just a love of the river and a desire to make an impact. We also host special events throughout the year such as RiverFest, and Earth Day Kids’ Festival that can always use some extra hands. We ask that you register for any events you’d like to attend so we can ensure we bring enough supplies for everyone that wants to participate.
If you have any questions about volunteering with us, or you’d like to set up a private service day for your group send us an email at volunteer@riverlink.org
These events are open to the public and include work on some of our key projects. These service days and events are a great opportunity to meet other volunteers.

West Asheville Park needs some serious TLC from our amazing volunteers! We will be hosting a “pull party” to pull invasive vines from a rain garden in the park. This service day will be short and sweet from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Some refreshments will be provided, please come prepared with a refillable water bottle. Sign up using the form below. Spots are limited!
We often have jobs that only need 1 or 2 people to complete, these are great opportunities for individuals that want to fit volunteering into their schedule.
We currently don’t have any opportunities for individual volunteers, please check back later.
