I am senior in high school and I have, on more than one occasion, volunteered for this non-profit. I spent a couple of hours in helping to maintain the parks. I was not the only student there, most of the volunteers were students. This organization makes it a priority to get kids involved in environmental conservation. Lastly, these parks are beautiful and provide a place for the people of the community to go to on their free time and experience nature.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
by going to the parks and enjoying the natural beauty. These parks use plants indigenous to the area so it is an educational experience to see what the land would look like hundreds of years ago.

Amigos de los Rios has helped beautify and revitalize communities in LA county and the San Gabriel Valley through the creation of parks and other recreational spaces. As a volunteer, the sites were well made and incorporated the input, participation and histories of local community members, something I appreciated.
The parks also use sustainable methods, water conservation efforts, incorporate native plants and give members of my community a chance to connect with the natural world in an urban environment. The community/volunteer events are well ran and organized. Overall- Great!
