Event Volunteers Needed
March 3, 2010
Program Assistants are needed to help with demonstrations, kids activities, face painting, hikes, planning, prep work, greeting/registration, refreshments, set-up, clean-up, etc. Site events are smaller than District-wide events and are organized by the site. While one-time helpers are welcome at many events, membership in the volunteer program is encouraged, and is required for some positions.
Contact the Volunteer Office (763.559.6706, volunteer@threeriversparkdistrict.org) for more information on how to sign up.
