Group Volunteer Opportunities

The City’s Special Event Department offers organizations and local nonprofits the opportunity to fill key positions at downtown events. In return, volunteer groups collect tips from weekly events (Piedmont Natural Gas Downtown Alive or Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays) or revenue from Artisphere or Fall for Greenville based on hours worked during the weekend.

Group Requirements

Nonprofit groups are required to be a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with the South Carolina Secretary of State in order to participate. If your group or company is not a registered 501(c)3, you may collect tips or revenue on behalf of a registered 501(c)3 organization. If you wish to apply to volunteer with your organization, please contact the City of Greenville Volunteer Coordinator.

Hu

"I originally came from Beijing China, but my wife and I have been in Greenville for 17 years, so the upstate area is where we call home. I have fun volunteering downtown on Fridays because it gives me a sense of vibrant city life. I enjoy talking to people from all walks of life and getting to know the long-time volunteers." -Hu Wang (May 2018)
