NOVEMBER 2025 UPDATE: Thank you for your interest in volunteering! Park volunteer programs were impacted during the recent government shutdown and getting programs running again will take some time. Please continue to check back for opportunities. We appreciate your patience and support.

It's fun. It's healthy. It makes a difference. And it's easy to get started! We have a variety of options to choose from - for individuals and groups, and many that do not require experience or commitment. We will provide all the training, tools, and leadership.

With 80,000 acres of park land, we need your help as we work towards our vision of Parks For All Forever.
