Horticulture Partner - Friends of the High Line Volunteer - 2026
Throughout our history, dedicated volunteers have helped make the High Line a success. We couldn’t keep this public space thriving without the neighbors and community members who share their time, expertise, feedback, talent, and energy. Due to the nature of working in a public, outdoor environment, all volunteers should be prepared to interact with park patrons and experience various weather conditions during their work.
The High Line Volunteer program comprises a friendly and inclusive group of individuals who share a common interest in public spaces, civic involvement, gardening, history, and environmental sustainability. Members of this community come from diverse backgrounds, and they share a deep concern for their neighborhood and New York City as a whole.
