“When I was a kid, I got to play in the woods and at the beach near a stream running into Puget Sound. Playing in dirt nowadays is still my favorite thing to do. When I get to play in dirt (and all that grows in it, falls on it, crawls in it) with actual children, I’m happy. ”
In-school Volunteer
Assist GPI with programs that are coordinated with the Darrington and Concrete school districts. In-school activities help bring STEM and forestry curriculum into the classroom. These programs are held throughout the week during school hours, and can take place in a classroom or outdoor setting.

Development Committees
Your gifts of time and talent are needed to help organize support and funding from the community. Help plan fundraising events, reach out to sponsors, be an ambassador at community gatherings (like farmer’s markets, chamber of commerce meetings, and more), capture the magic of GPI’s programs in photos & videos, show appreciation to our donors, plan volunteer and alumni gatherings, or share our story through newsletters and social media. Volunteers are key to growing our capacity. If you’d like to learn more send us an email and we’ll get in touch with you to talk about the possibilities!
Outdoor Youth Adventures
For our after school programs, summer activities, and partnership day trips, volunteers fuel our ability to serve more youth each season. Volunteers in these roles participate in hands-on lessons and activities such as hiking, tree tapping, rafting, rock climbing, restoration projects, archery, snowshoeing, wilderness survival skills, fishing, and many more. During the school year, these events typically take place after school on Wednesdays/Fridays or on no-school days. Contact us by email to learn more.
