We’re offering in-person and remote volunteer opportunities. We have programs teaching English to immigrants, adult literacy for folks working on a GED, and youth literacy for kids struggling to learn to read. In addition, we welcome everyone -even if they are not ready to volunteer- to attend to learn about the literacy challenges we face in Buncombe County. Thank you!
We need your help to get this built – it will be a volunteer-built park October 4-8, 2023.
Rendering of the future Candace Pickens Park to be built October 2023. Learn more about Playgrounds by Leathers.
Sign Up to Help!

Before the build dates it will take a lot of coordination – we’re looking for a few good people to help as:
Childcare Coordinators – providing supervision and fun activities for kids during construction
Food Coordinators – acquiring food from the community for each day of the build
Want to help? Know someone who might be able to help with one of these coordinator positions? Email: [email protected] or call David Rodgers 828.545.9571
In mid-May we will have a design similar to the former playground to present to the community.
Donate to help build the park!
