Join the Chicago Conservation Corps Explorer Track
The Explorer track offers short-term, year-round volunteer projects that protect Chicago green spaces and natural resources, making it easy to try a project without a long commitment. It is a good entry point before committing to a longer stewardship role elsewhere in the city.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
