There
are many volunteer opportunities available throughout the year in our
PaRCS department. You can help with a community event, support one of
our many community programs, commit to a specific park project, or make a
long-term commitment to an individual park through the Adopt-A-Park
program. Your commitment can be as flexible and as short-term as you
need it to be.
For more information about PaRCS volunteer opportunities, contact Gabbi Gonzales, Recreation Coordinator.
