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.
