*This is a special feature from the City of San Jose, Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services
As the weather gets warmer, there is no better way to enjoy your City’s parks, trails, and outdoor spaces than to participate in an outdoor volunteer event.
The Parks Recreation and Neighborhood Services (PRNS) Department Volunteer Management Unit (VMU) offers weekly volunteer events throughout the year that allow residents to spend time outdoors, connect with others, and do good for their community.
The #PRNSBest VMU team hosts multiple volunteer events every month that are free to attend. In addition to offering a fun outdoor experience for residents, these events are crucial to making sure our City’s parks and trails stay clean, safe, and maintained so they can continue to be enjoyed by the community.
VMU events are held at various parks and outdoor spaces in San José, including the Municipal Rose Garden, Alum Rock Trail, and the Japanese Friendship Garden. Volunteers help beautify these spaces by picking up trash, gardening, performing maintenance work and more. All volunteers are provided with any necessary training and are just asked to wear closed-toe shoes and bring water and snacks!
