One-Day Volunteering

Want to make a difference but are too busy to make a long-term commitment? Join us! Great Parks welcomes individuals, families, community groups and corporations who want to volunteer for a half- or full-day project.

We are now scheduling corporate and community projects for 2021.

Great Parks is following guidelines established by the Ohio Department of Health. We ask that those that are not fully vaccinated continue to wear a mask when not able to maintain a safe distance of 6 feet or more, and for all volunteers to continue washing and/or sanitizing their hands regularly. Staff will continue to routinely disinfect high-contact surfaces and make hand sanitizer readily available.
