Our Ideal Volunteer Tutor

The ideal volunteer tutor is someone seeking to make a one-year commitment of two hours per week to help someone else make the change of a lifetime. For our volunteer tutors, an education background is helpful, but not necessary. The most important qualities are patience, an open mind, and resourcefulness. Tutors also need to be non-judgmental and sensitive to cultural differences. A GED or high school diploma is required. Ideal tutors enjoy seeing concrete outcomes from their efforts and sharing in the life-changing successes of others. See our full tutor position description here.

Volunteer for the Haywood Road Hallow-Clean Up Day
Oct 31 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Trinity United Methodist Church parking lot

Alternate text

What is a Haywood Road Clean Up Day?
A morning where volunteers work to pick up litter (trash and recycling) along the Haywood Road corridor with the support of the West Asheville Business Association.

How is this event different from other WABA cleanup days?
Safety is our top priority when working with and in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of restrictions to gatherings and use of public spaces, we will not be providing volunteers breakfast prior to the cleanup. You can review Asheville GreenWorks Communicable Disease Volunteer Guidelines here.

How do I participate?
1-RSVP using this registration form
2-Pick out your costume for the clean up day – you may win a prize!
3-Meet at the Trinity United Methodist Church parking lot on Balm Grove Road on Saturday October 31st at 10am to receive your gear and instructions
4-Head out to pick up of trash and recycling along the Haywood Road corridor and side streets
5-Return your gear to Asheville GreenWorks

Is this a family-friendly event?
Yes, although not recommended for very small children. Haywood Road is a busy street and it is important that you and your children stay alert and safe throughout the clean up.

 

Should I bring anything?
Asheville GreenWorks will provide gloves, safety vests, and trash bags for everyone. WABA will provide trash grabbers. Please bring any personal items, including snacks and water, that you need.

Chimney Rock State Park Naturalist Niche: Fall Ridge Hike
Nov 7 @ 9:30 am – 1:00 pm

The trails of Chimney Rock in the fall are amazing, but a guided hike off-the-beaten-path can lead you to places you never knew existed. Join us for this autumn adventure on one of our most popular excursions. You’ll discover seasonal changes along your trek that will introduce you to a whole new perspective of the Park. This hike is considered moderately strenuous. Space is limited for this, so book now.
