Why Volunteer With Us?
Theodore Payne Foundation offers unique and exciting opportunities to increase your knowledge, meet like-minded people, and to support our mission to cultivate biodiversity across Southern California.
Your volunteer service makes a difference, and your employer may increase that impact by matching your hours with a donation, or offering paid time off so you can volunteer during the week while still getting paid. Ask your HR department if your company offers volunteer grants or volunteer time off (VTO).
Opportunities
TPF was founded in 1960 by a group of dedicated volunteers. Today, more 250 active volunteers help maintain our grounds and nursery, work in the office, share knowledge at outreach events, and assist customers in the store and on sale days. Whether you’re a plant person or a people person, looking for sunshine or shade, rest assured, we have something for everyone!
