As a nonprofit, we run on volunteers. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities and our volunteers can choose their own time commitment. Complete the information below to start making a positive difference in the Springfield community!

Our current needs:

1. Drew Residence Landscaping: We need volunteer support with landscaping the Drew Residence (245 W 3rd). While we work to fundraise the restoration of the property, we want to ensure the yard and park strip are well kept. If you are available to support landscaping (especially mowing, weed whacking, pruning, or edging), please email [email protected] to volunteer.
   
   
2. Klutho Park Scavenger Hunt: Last year we began including a QR code on SPAR-sponsored public artwork in Springfield. Right now that QR code links to a page with information about native plants. Our hope is to eventually add a Klutho Park Scavenger Hunt that families can use to play in our parks. If you can help us design a Klutho Park Scavenger Hunt, please email [email protected] to volunteer.
   
3. Community Cleanups: We need volunteers to help us beautify the neighborhood. We host community cleanups at least once per month where volunteers pickup trash and remove litter from different parts of Springfield. See our 2026 Community Cleanup Calendar for more information.

If you are a business owner and would like to schedule a volunteer day with your employees, please contact us at [email protected] to discuss - we have a number of opportunities available for larger groups of volunteers throughout the year.
