Event Volunteers Needed
July 9, 2010
Program Assistants are needed to help at events with demonstrations, kids activities, face painting, hikes, planning, prep work, greeting/registration, refreshments, set-up, clean-up, etc. Site events are smaller and organized by the site. District-wide events are larger and organized centrally. While one-time helpers are welcome at many events, membership in the volunteer program is encouraged, and is required for some positions. For details, check out the latest Event Recruitment Letter in the Volunteer Resource Center.
Contact the Volunteer Office (763.559.6706, volunteer@threeriversparkdistrict.org) for more information on how to sign up.
