Community Service Opportunities

Share your Skills with US!

Do you have a special skill or certification? Have you always wanted to share this skill with adults or children, dreamed about teaching a class and now you finally have time? The Recreation Department is always looking for new classes to offer and we need qualified instructors. Topics may include music, fitness, art, nature, or your own favorite hobby; the more creative the better! Call us to discuss volunteering; paid seasonal and part-time positions are also available!

Special Events

We are looking for individuals and groups to help out at our special events throughout the year. If you enjoy fun in the sun, managing events and meeting new people, hang out with us for community fun! Volunteers often will greet guests, provide golf cart shuttles, assist with event setup, and so much more. Contact us today to learn more.

Parks, Trails, and Visitor Center

Our beautiful parks and trails are maintained by volunteers, with larger projects provided by public works. Help us keep the parks beautiful by volunteering to plant flowers, clear a trail, pick up trash, or be a greeter at our Visitor Center along the Westmoreland Heritage Trail. Call us to learn how easy it is for you, your family, your students, your coworkers to give just an hour. The possibilities are endless!
