Greenlink is seeking volunteers for its pilot Mystery Rider Program. This customer service initiative aims to collect trip feedback in real-time, is intended to gather details on the complete customer experience and will identify areas for improvement and employee recognition.
Why should you volunteer?
- Help the Facilities team address bus stop issues.
- Help the Maintenance team address mechanical issues and cleanliness issues on the bus.
- Help the Safety & Training team address areas for improvement in operations and customer service.
Your feedback can lead to a better customer experience for everyone!
What is required and what do you get out of it?
Volunteers will be required to participate in a one-hour training to understand how to complete the Mystery Rider Report. In exchange for attending the training, volunteers will receive two 7-Day passes ($25 value).
Then, once the training is complete, passengers will be required to complete a minimum of 12 Mystery Rider Reports:
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 5:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 12:30 – 4:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 4:30 – 11:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken on Saturdays between 8:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.
In exchange for completing the twelve reports, volunteers will receive one 31-Day pass ($50 value).
All reports are due by April 30, 2024.
Artisphere has approached us to participate in their Arts Partner Program, offering a chance to secure funding for GCCA through volunteer efforts. By collectively completing 250 volunteer hours, we can unlock vital resources that will be reinvested back into our community in various meaningful ways.
While our dedicated staff is committed to contributing their time, we recognize that our team alone will not reach the goal. That’s why we’re calling on our wonderful community to join us in this endeavor. With your help, we can achieve our target of 250 volunteer hours.
We’re asking for volunteers to sign up for 2 to 4 shifts each, with most shifts spanning 3 to 4 hours (some may be slightly longer). Your participation will not only support GCCA but also contribute to the vibrant cultural landscape of our city.
To sign up for shifts, please follow the instructions provided in the link below. When registering, be sure to indicate that you’re volunteering on behalf of GCCA to ensure your hours count towards our total. After signing up, we ask that you kindly inform our Operations Manager, Alicia Mizuno, of the number of shifts and total hours you’ve committed to. This will help us keep track of our progress towards our goal.
All farm volunteer hours will be held at our Sullivan Street Farm location (15 Bolt Street, Greenville, SC, 29605, look for a white and grey pavilion-like building and metal garden beds, the yellow X on the map below denotes the location where we’ll meet before getting started on tasks).
Help with greenhouse tasks such as seeding, potting up transplants, labeling/organizing plant trays. Help with urban farm tasks such as weeding, mulching, composting/fertilizing, seeding, transplanting, harvesting.
This work will take place outdoors so you should dress accordingly (layers are always a good idea) in something you don’t mind getting dirty. Closed toe shoes are required. Items like sunscreen and/or hats are helpful. Please bring a water bottle and feel free to bring snacks if you’d like.
**PLEASE NOTE: These volunteer shifts require physical labor that involves activities such as bending, lifting, and standing for long periods of time. We also may use tools such as drills, hammers, shovels, wheelbarrows, etc. Please be prepared to work hard and have some fun!**
**PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept volunteers aged 12 or younger. Additionally, anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian or supervising adult.**
Make summer bright for kids in Greenville
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club needs your help to make this summer the best one yet for kids in our community. For nine weeks while children are out of school on summer break, the Boys & Girls Club hosts its Summer Camp at the Kroc Center in Greenville.
The children spend their days doing fun-filled activities, taking field trips, participating in character building classes and much more. We need help funding the scholarship program to help offset the cost for families unable to afford this quality out-of-school time experience for their children.
- $80 pays for a child to attend one week of summer camp
- $160 pays for one child to attend one week of camp, all field trips, as well as covers their t-shirt cost
- $720 pays for one child or half the summer session for two children. This includes field trips and a t-shirt.
Thank you for prayerfully considering how you can support families in Greenville this summer through The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club!

Join us on Friday, May 17 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm for an afternoon of volunteering at the Long Branch Mitigation property, a protected property adjacent to Woodside Avenue in Greenville.
Participants will help remove litter from this property that serves as refugia for many birds and other wildlife. Volunteers will learn about the site’s history and how it came to be protected by a conservation easement. Please wear long pants and close-toed shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Gloves and garbage bags will be provided.
Tech After Five connects the tech community. We invite IT Professionals, Startups, Entrepreneurs and their community of support to come together and make meaningful professional connections.
You may be looking for work or looking to hire. You might be looking for customers or prospects. You may need co-founders, partners or mentors. We’ve got you covered.
Tech After Five is not like other networking events. We work particularly hard to make sure we get the right people in the room and then make sure it’s easy for you to find each other. Sign up using the right ticket type for you. We will then follow up with custom emails that let you know who you can expect to meet. We will print custom badges for the event that make it easy for you to find the people you are looking for.
We know that networking can be hard. We try to make it as easy as possible for you to meet the right people. We know that when smart people come together we can make things happen. We hope you will join us and become part of our community.
