Types of Volunteering
Community Service
Volunteers are needed to keep the park looking clean and beautiful. Our regular volunteer activities include litter abatement and weeding landscape beds - a great way to get a breath of fresh air while giving back to your community. Join us one time, or every week!
Individual volunteer opportunities are available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10 AM and 12 PM, and on Mondays from 4–6 PM. Sign up for a shift below, or email volunteers@moncuspark.org to inquire about future opportunities.
Registration for shifts opens the week prior and closes at noon every Sunday - spots fill up, so sign up early!
