The Department of Parks and Recreation has different volunteer types:
Year-Round Volunteers: These volunteers assist our park staff with day to day operations of our facilities and on-going programs. Many of these volunteers participate in many of our volunteer programs. Their asssitance helps keep our parks running smoothly.
Seasonal Volunteers: The majority of our Seasonal Volunteers are coaches or officials for our sport programs.
Specalized Volunteers: We have many Specalized Volunteer programs. Our Mounted Assistance Units patrol our many trails on horseback, providing public information and assistance to our many hikers and trailriders. They also provide us with information on trails that may need maintenance, or have certain problems. Our Nature Center Docents help with tours and educational programs at our many Nature centers, as do Docents and Volunteers at the Arboretum and other Botanic Gardens.
Group Volunteers:** Group Volunteers as members of an organization, such as a school, church, Boy/Girl Scouts, or business/corporation, that enhance our facilities by coming out at a specific time to complete community service projects.
Special Event Volunteers:** Many people come to volunteer for a specific event at a park. Generally they volunteer for no more than three days and for a specific purpose.
Student Volunteers:** Student Volunteers are volunteers that come out to satisfy a course, or school requirement. This also includes members of scouting organizations that need to complete some type of project for their advancement.
Except for the volunteer types indicated by the (**), all volunteers must complete the application and background process, prior to the start of their service at any of our facilities.
