Volunteer Opportunities

The GreenHouse Community Center

Volunteers are the backbone of The GreenHouse! It's our volunteers that bring their skills and gifts and heart to almost every aspect of our organization. Each year, one-third of all the hours worked at The GreenHouse are done by volunteers. For more information about volunteering, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Gabe Benson at gabe@thegreenhousecenter.org, or call 916-402-7978.
