COMMUNITY SERVICE
Volunteers are needed to keep the park looking clean and beautiful. Our regular volunteer activities include litter abatement and weeding landscape beds. These are great experiences if you are looking to get a breath of fresh air while giving back to your community in your spare time! Join us one time, or every week!
Individual volunteer opportunities are available on Wednesday and Fridays, between 10 am to 2 pm. Opportunities open again starting September 1st. Please sign up for a shift by clicking the button below. To inquire about future volunteer opportunities contact us at volunteers@moncuspark.org.
GROUP IMPACT DAYS
Corporate and groups of volunteers fill an essential role in the health and upkeep of Moncus Park! Horticultural and maintenance projects promote team-building while providing an important service to the Park. Corporate or group “Impact Days” are based on the needs of the park at the time of the scheduled visit and are typically scheduled for 1-2 hours.
To book your group impact day contact us at volunteers@moncuspark.org.
