Volunteers

The Anderson Park District is looking for volunteers who have a genuine desire to help promote parks and recreation. By donating your time and experience, you can really make a difference! Benefits of volunteering at the APD include making new friends, flexible assignments, satisfaction of knowing you are helping others, formal recognition for your work, provide service to the community, job references and opportunities to use your skills and expertise.

Volunteering is a great way for business and groups to build teamwork, provide service hours to the community and get noticed for your efforts. All that is required is a willingness to pitch in and try it out.

To discuss volunteer options, contact Scott Lahman at (513) 388-5091.

Current Volunteer Service Opportunities
  • Recreation (special events, programs and leagues)

    Be a part of the action by assisting in various capacities before, during, and after an event. Help with a variety of park programs throughout the year such as summer camps and art classes. In addition, the APD is always looking for competent, adult officials for the Youth Basketball and Volleyball Leagues.

    Do you have a skill or knowledge that you would like to share with others? Contact us to discuss conducting a program or class that will allow you to teach your special skill to others.

    Assist visitors by answering questions and directing patrons at events, to various facilities, or during the busy season.

  • Communications

    Help us keep the public informed by updating the park district’s signboards and bulletin boards. Volunteers can be responsible for one or multiple parks, depending on the individual’s level of interest.
