Adventure Central Volunteer Training
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Adventure Central after-school program at Five Rivers MetroParks. This program empowers youth in West Dayton to become healthier, happier, and more successful through nature exploration, homework assistance, and a wide variety of out-of-school educational programs. The goal is for the children to strengthen values, develop long-term positive relationships, and build lasting life skills to create caring, capable, and contributing citizens of tomorrow.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE? This opportunity is open to individual long-term and short-term volunteers ages 14 and up, who have completed their volunteer onboarding qualifications (Volunteer Handbook Signature, Completed Volunteer Profile), and an eligible background check for those 18 and up.
