Y‍OUNG FRIENDS VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY ‍

SAT, October 17th: YFOS Seed Harvesting Help us spread the joy of the Superbloom by collecting seeds throughout the Shelby Park and Bottoms! As flowers fade, there is still goodness to be had with their seeds. Join us for a morning of casual conversation with likeminded young folks as we head into the park and gather various seeds which are used to create free seed packets for our neighbors and community. Interest in what Friends of Shelby has to offer? Want to make more friends who love the park? Come on out and have some fun!

JOIN THE YOUNG FRIENDS OF SHELBY

Young Friends of Shelby (YFOS) is a new group for park lovers in their 20’s-30’s who want to connect, give back, and have a little fun along the way! Whether you're up for a volunteer day, making a friend at some of the free park programs, a group hike, or just grabbing a drink after work, YFOS is a chance to meet new people and support the place we all love by becoming more involved here at Shelby Park & Bottoms. 

What to expect:

  • Quarterly meetups like social gatherings, happy hours, hikes, and casual get-togethers

  • Volunteer outings and service opportunities to help keep Shelby Park at its best

  • Behind-the-scenes tours and special events with our community

  • A low-key, fun way to give back and grow your local network

What we ask:

To join in on the fun, we ask that YFOS participants consider becoming a member of Friends of Shelby. Your contributions will support our efforts to make Shelby Park & Bottoms the friendliest, best loved, and most accessible park in town! Membership is not a necessary requirement, let’s have some fun and all grow together.

We’re just getting started—and we’d love for you to be part of it!

Let’s keep in touch!
