Help us get the word out about The Adventure Summit! Volunteers are needed to deliver event posters to area businesses and community spaces to help promote this incredible event. This is a flexible, unscheduled opportunity - you can volunteer when it is convenient for you!*

Impact

Volunteers will have helped promote an active, healthy lifestyle in the region and have contributed to making Dayton “The Adventure Capital of the Midwest!”

Tasks

• The staff lead will contact volunteers to determine the best zones for delivery. Volunteers will be given a list of places to visit within a defined geographical area of Dayton to distribute posters. Volunteers may find additional places to visit that are not on the list. Look for places connected to recreation, close to bikeways, or places where people hang out: restaurants, coffee shops, gear shops, etc. 
• Volunteers need to be able to pick up all supplies and instructions at the Main Office, 409 E Monument Ave, Third Floor, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m-5 p.m.
• Volunteers must be able to make deliveries before February 14th*. Distribution can occur on the volunteer's schedule--no set days or times, as long as deliveries are made before February 14th*. NOTE: Volunteers unable to complete deliveries must contact the staff lead right away so that alternative delivery arrangements can be made.
• When making deliveries, volunteers should:
  • wear their MetroParks volunteer apparel and name badge
  • introduce themselves as a volunteer with Five Rivers MetroParks
  • ask for permission to hang posters using the provided tape or pushpins
  • note which places they visited, and which were willing to display a poster and/or distribute palm cards to report back to staff.
