Be a MetroParks Volunteer!
Express your care and concern for the environment, learn new skills and meet people
with similar interests as a volunteer for Five Rivers MetroParks. Volunteer opportunities
are as varied as the MetroParks themselves. All you need to become a volunteer is
enthusiasm for our natural or cultural history, a willingness to learn and a desire
to share with others. Your time commitment depends on you and your chosen assignment.
No previous training or experience is required; training is provided. As a volunteer,
you will make things happen and provide a valuable contribution to the preservation
and enjoyment of our natural areas. You will also receive benefits including an
annual recognition party and training.
It's fun, rewarding and easy to get involved! Review the opportunities at the facilities
and with various programs and contact the Volunteer Services Manager for the areas that
interest you. Call (937) 275-PARK for more information or download and print the Volunteer Application Packet. |

Featured Volunteer |
|

For Dennis Marsh, the benefits of being the volunteer coordinator for the Founders Community Gardens reach beyond simply encouraging friends and neighbors to be more healthy and self-sufficient. For Marsh, it’s downright therapeutic. “When I’m working with the soil, I feel like I’m being healed,” the Dayton resident says. “I believe this is what the creator intended for us—growing our own food and putting just the goodness that comes out of the Earth into our bodies.” |
