Volunteers will plant trees with TreeUtah in a public park space under the guidance of TreeUtah's arborists and team. Even if you've never planted a tree before, join us with warm layers, a water bottle, and clothing you don't mind getting dirty. TreeUtah will bring all the tools, trees, instruction, snacks and a supportive atmosphere! All ages!

Details from Tree Utah: When you arrive, please follow green TreeUtah flags to the back of the building and check in at our marvelously green TreeUtah tent. After we check in, we will begin our planting event with a planting demonstration, and a safety talk, from our ISA certified arborists.

Dress for the weather, we recommend wearing pants (not shorts), closed-toed shoes, bring sun protection and a refillable water bottle!

TreeUtah will provide tools, gloves, light snacks, sparkly drinks, and everything else!

We're excited to see you there soon! If you have any questions about this event, or if you're having trouble finding us on the day of the planting, please call or text Amy at 801-573-5685.

Volunteers will support a hands-on service project focused on beautifying campus and strengthening essential resources for survivors and families served by YWCA Utah.

Projects may include landscaping and outdoor beautification such as planting, weeding, mulching, and general grounds clean-up to help create a welcoming and healing environment across campus.

Volunteers will also assist indoors by sorting donated items, organizing inventory, and preparing our on-site clothing boutique, which provides free clothing and essentials to survivors and families in shelter and transitional housing. Tasks may include folding, labeling, organizing by size or season, and preparing items for distribution.

All activities will be guided by YWCA Utah staff, with clear instructions provided on-site. Projects are designed to be accessible, collaborative, and impactful, allowing volunteers to see the direct results of their service while supporting survivor-centered, trauma-informed spaces. Ages 18+
