Then perhaps you are like the hundreds of other citizens who are serving as volunteers with the San Diego Park and Recreation Department.
Volunteers can choose from a variety of opportunities.
At Disabled Services, they can assist persons with disabilities in participating in a wide array of recreational activities, including wheelchair sports tournaments, and special events. Volunteers can work as office assistants, or serve on the Disabled Services Advisory Council. Volunteers in the Senior Citizen program answer phones, file, type, and greet customers provide income tax assistance, work as trip escorts, and provide decorating and refreshment assistance at monthly dances and other events. In Balboa Park, volunteers assist the Park Rangers in passing out information and giving special guided tours. They also work in the Botanical Building and Rose Garden helping to maintain the areas and identifying plants for visitors.
