This community event is designed to bring volunteers and youth together through hands-on activities that build relationships and create lasting impact.
What to expect:
- Garden Revitalization – Volunteers and students will plant flowers and plants together to help refresh the garden and create a space everyone can enjoy. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a favorite plant to share and plant with the students.
- Games & Icebreakers – Fun activities will help everyone get to know each other in a relaxed and welcoming way.
- Cookout & Community Dinner – A cookout prepared by the City of Refuge kitchen team will give volunteers and students time to sit together, talk, and build relationships.
Our Goal:
To create meaningful connections that can grow into mentorship relationships and bring hope to youth who need caring adults in their lives.
Come ready to have fun, serve, and make a difference!

To ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone, a background check is required for all volunteers.
After you sign up for the event, you will receive a follow-up email with the background check link and step-by-step instructions on how to complete it.

If the background check fee is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out-CPNW is happy to cover the cost if needed.
Once your background check is completed and cleared, you’ll be eligible to volunteer with us for 12 months without needing to complete it again.
Together, let’s grow something beautiful – both in the garden and in the lives of these students.
