Community is something we build together.
There are many ways to be part of GEMS. Volunteer. Partner. Create. Teach. Sponsor. Donate. Rent the space. Bring an idea. Or simply show up. You don’t have to participate in a formal program to belong here.

Show up, bring a friend, and experience the joy of community at our markets, concerts, and workshops.
Volunteer
Lend your time and skills. From event setup to youth mentoring, every hour strengthens our community.
Become a Partner

Donate or Sponsor
Your gift keeps our programs free and accessible. Become a sustainer or sponsor a season of joy.
Bring your gifts to the table
We need event hosts, youth mentors, photographers, market helpers, garden volunteers, and more. Tell us your interests and we’ll find the right fit.
