Become a Volunteer!
Have fun and make new friends while helping your community! River Parks produces a multitude of events to build awareness and encourage use of River Parks. These events are financed through private sponsorship, park usage fees, and revenue from parking and concession sales. To make these events a success, volunteers sell beverages, check I.D.’s and make our guests feel welcome. Revenue earned at these events insures that River Parks can continue to provide events that are free to the public.

Volunteers get free admission to events and enjoy all kinds of entertainment plus the camaraderie of working with others who love River Parks. As a River Parks volunteer, you will become a part of a distinguished group who promotes and invests in the future of our community.
