Community Garden Coordinator Summer 2026

The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space works with three local community gardens in the East Village/Lower East Side area, running workdays to ensure the gardens are clean and well-maintained. All of these workdays and events happen on the weekends, mostly Saturdays. These events are open to the public and operate on a volunteer basis. The community garden coordinator is responsible for ensuring that these workdays run smoothly. You will be responsible to show up half an hour early, communicate with project managers about the projects of the day, and set people up with tools and equipment to complete their projects. You will also help to promote these events to ensure community engagement. You don't need that much garden experience, and you will be trained on how each community garden functions.
