Do you like behind-the-scenes event prep work? Family Programs like Passport to MetroParks utilize crafts to support learning and engage families with nature activities. Volunteers can support the Passport to MetroParks by preparing crafts before the event during this volunteer opportunity. Their efforts will ensure we have enough supplies for all the youth and families to enjoy during the event. While this may be a behind-the-scenes volunteer activity, you are helping kids and families create a take-home craft and memories together.
Impact
Program support volunteers serve a critical role in ensuring large-scale programs run smoothly. These volunteers enable the staff to expand their ideas for activities to engage the public, and allow kids and families to create a take-home craft and memories.
