There are many ways to help with the duties of the cooperative. While volunteering is not required of your membership, it is encouraged! Volunteering provides you with insight into the inner workings of the cooperative and the importance of each members' investment in the cooperative.

Maintaining this investment with positive customer service is crucial to the growth and health of our cooperative. The difference between the NGF Co-op and other fuel stations is our focus is green, natural and sustainable, and we provide access to products the petroleum based companies shy from.

Volunteer opportunities are not limited to what is listed here. If you see a way to help the cooperative with your skills please don't hesitate to contact us. Unless a specific contact is listed, you can contact us at waterdog@nerenew.com or call 1-402-687-9453.

A volunteer list serv is also in place and new volunteer opportunities are posted monthly. New members automatically receive emails from this list serv, but the option to "opt out" of these additional emails is available.
