We are lucky to be a part of Lincoln Square Chamber of Commerce’s Community Partner Grant Program which means we earn a donation for every volunteer shift we fill for their Square Roots festival on July 10–12, 2026.

To sign up, click the button below and make sure to write “Global Gardens Chicago” as the organization you are representing to make sure we get the donation.

Here are some things you can help with:

•  Set-Up Crew – Help bring the fest to life by setting up tables, chairs, banners, signage, and beverage stations before the gates open.

• Gate Greeters – Be the welcoming face of the fest! Greet guests and encourage a suggested donation that supports the music, the festival, and neighborhood programs. Great for outgoing personalities and strong communicators.

• POS Stations – Perfect for tech-savvy volunteers who are calm under pressure and comfortable handling credit card transactions in a fast-paced environment.

• Beer Stations – Help keep the good vibes flowing! Pour drinks, check IDs, and work in the center of the festival action.

• Teardown Crew – Help us wrap up a successful weekend by breaking down festival areas, packing materials, and restoring the neighborhood.
