About

The Guadalupe River Park Conservancy provides community leadership for the development and active use of the Guadalupe River Park & Gardens through education, advocacy and stewardship.


Volunteering with us can bring you many benefits from learning successful gardening techniques to having the satisfaction of doing something good for the environment. Students can earn community service credits by spending some time working with us. Helping with our children's education programs can be fun and fulfilling for volunteers as well. You will be able to meet new friends and help us maintain the park and gardens at the same time!


If you don't have time to volunteer on a regular basis, please consider helping out at one of our special events such as Pumpkins in the Park or our Super Guadalupe River Run. We need many people to assist with these events and your help on this infrequent basis would be greatly appreciated.

Educational Activities

Create the Change® partners with nonprofit organizations that we believe offer age-appropriate service opportunities for youth and families. All of our partners sign a collaboration agreement promising to provide age-appropriate activities in a safe environment.
