A good way to start volunteering is as part of a group. Civic, youth and other community groups frequently help in our parks. The office of Volunteer Services can help you decide on a project most appropriate for your group. The age, physical ability, skills and interests of your group, as well as the time of year and preferred location, will help determine the project that will work best. The group leader is responsible for acting as a liaison with park staff, working out logistics and ensuring that all group members are notified.
Parks provide a list of safety guidelines and most materials needed for a successful project.
Please call to find out more about short-term volunteer opportunities for civic groups, scouts and students. Some jobs require specialized skills while others ask only for enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. You may be just who we're looking for. Volunteer job descriptions outline the basic requirements and duties of each job. While every job is different, most will require a minimum commitment of eight hours per month.
