Be the friendly face and smile that welcomes visitors to the return of The Wagner Subaru Outdoor Experience and share with them all the great parks, programs, events, and more that Five Rivers MetroParks has to offer all year long!
Impact
Ambassador volunteers enhance the visitor experience by offering excellent customer service to park visitors and event participants and providing information and materials to help participants enjoy the day's activities. They help visitors build awareness of all the amenities that MetroParks offers to community members and they create positive, high-energy, outdoor enthusiasm at the start of the visitor experience. Volunteers will leave knowing they have promoted an active, healthy lifestyle in the region and have contributed to making Dayton “The Adventure Capital of the Midwest!”
