Benefits

The Volunteer Services Program uniquely designed to "reward" volunteers for their time and efforts at improving the individual and overall welfare of parks and facilities. Various incentive and appreciation programs will be offered to everyone who participates. Representative examples includes: free passes, discounts, awards and more.

Become a Park Ambassador!

Park Ambassadors are volunteers who monitor and report back to staff information on the parks, trails, and greenways. Volunteers, as a representative of the department, will greet patrons, answer questions and support staff when needed.
