Opportunity Details

The Live Green Toronto Volunteer program offers a unique opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved in the greening of Toronto, learn about environmental issues and connect with others with similar interests.

All over Toronto.

Year-round, on weekdays and weekends.

Hours are flexible, and you can choose which events you want to attend.

To receive further details on the next Information Session, please complete this form. You will not receive a response right away – we’ll notify you by email closer to the date of the next session.

As a volunteer, you’ll have an opportunity to spread the live green message to the public at more than 150 events each year — everything from the Royal Winter Fair and Canadian National Exhibition, to the Green Living Show and smaller community-based events across the city.

You’ll receive ongoing training on environmental issues and City programs related to climate change, waste and recycling, energy and water efficiency, urban biodiversity green buildings/development, sustainable transportation, urban agriculture, and more.
