Volunteer Opportunities Available Throughout Connecticut
Adopt a Park provides an opportunity for volunteers interested in a long term commitment to serve and maintain an area or attractive feature of the park they love. Adopting a park isn’t just about work. It can be a lot of fun! Adopting volunteers can plan a picnic, a hike, outdoor games and other activities when they serve.
Why adopt?
To keep our parks safe and clean! - Litter is unsafe, unsanitary, pervasive and potentially persistent. With your help, we can reduce the number of nuisance insects, vermin and other trash scavengers in our parks. Guests will enjoy a safer, more pleasant experience and a more fun adventure in our parks!
To build a closer, stronger community! - Volunteer service is essential to creating stronger communities. Be part of a service that makes a visible, tangible difference!
To help the environment! - With your service, you can help keep our local wildlife safe, retain their habitat, and help us control invasive species.
Who can adopt?
Individuals of all ages, community groups, youth groups, special interest groups, corporations, schools, agencies and families are all welcomed to choose and adopt a park. Youth 16 and under must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times during the activity.
Please visit our Adopt a Park webpage for more information and to apply!
