Group Volunteer Opportunities

The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy welcomes volunteer groups year-round to assist with specialized projects along the riverfront. As a way of enhancing our corporate volunteer partnerships, the Conservancy is excited to introduce its DRFC Corporate Champion and DRFC Corporate Steward group volunteer packages.

If you are interested in becoming a DRFC Corporate Champion or DRFC Corporate Steward, please reach out to Mekulash Baron-Galbavi, Volunteer Coordinator, at meku.barongalbavi@detroitriverfront.org. Groups that would like to volunteer, but are unable to complete a corporate sponsorship package are encouraged to participate in our Dequindre Cut Spring Cleanup which takes place each April.
