Volunteer
Grow With Us. Volunteer for the Permaculture Guild.
Volunteers keep the Guild running. From events to education, your time and energy help spread permaculture knowledge across Edmonton. Get involved and grow with us.
Why Volunteer
The Edmonton Permaculture Guild is built by people who show up. Every workshop, event, and community gathering happens because volunteers lend their time and skills.
Volunteering is also one of the best ways to learn.
Youll work alongside experienced practitioners, pick up new skills, and become part of a community that shares your values.
