Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and meet new people. In some cases, volunteering can be a great way to explore a potential career path or discover a new hobby as well. The Office of Sustainability hosts recurring volunteer days at the Rooftop Gardens at Center Parc Stadium and offers other opportunities on our General Sustainability Page. All of the Office of Sustainability Initiative’s opportunities are listed on PawsForACause where volunteers can log hours.
Office of Sustainability Initiatives – General Volunteering
The Office of Sustainability Initiatives will post volunteering opportunities throughout the year. Some of the biggest events will be Move-In, Campus Race to Zero Waste, Move-Out, and Recycling Makeovers.
Georgia State University Garden Volunteer Team

The Team primarily focuses on the Rooftop Gardens at Center Parc Stadium, where they build raised beds, plant edible fruits and vegetables, and collect produce to donate to GSU’s student food accessibility program, Panther’s Pantry. Volunteering takes place every Friday morning.
