Time is ticking away… Give Volunteering a TRY!

Do you need a new idea for something to do this year for a New Year’s Resolution? If so, have you considered volunteering? The Park District has several volunteer opportunities available for all ages. Opportunities vary from being indoors to exploring the outdoors all while enjoying all the different seasons.

Join us on Saturday, January 18th at 10AM to see what volunteering with the Park District is all about. A few opportunities include helping at the reception desk, maintaining trails, folding Nature Notes, assisting with animal enrichment, adopting a park, assisting with visiting school trips, and more. Not sure if this is something you would like to do? Come and check it out.

Regardless of how busy your schedules may be, the rewarding parts of volunteering are countless; whether it would be meeting a new friend, seeing all the smiling faces when you assist with a program or walk the trails on a regular basis while adopting a park (better than going to the gym to work out!) Even the busiest of schedules will likely allow for an evening or a few hours per month to help the Park District. As a Park District volunteer you have the flexibility to assist in your area of interest and when your schedule permits.

If you want to be more involved with your community and volunteer with the Park District, please attend the January 18th meeting and RSVP to Laura Schwieterman, Volunteer Coordinator, at 937-548-0165 or via email lschwieterman@darkecountyparks.org by Friday, January 17th. Thank you for taking the time and considering adding this opportunity to your life.
