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. No application or special training is needed. Simply register below for a quick half-day preplanned project. You’re sure to have fun, learn something new, make a positive difference and make some new friends. Or, submit an application if you would like a unique, one of a kind project for just your group.

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.
