Event Description: The City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department, Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina, and the Raleigh Police Department want you to show the children and families in your community you support them by recognizing Child Abuse Prevention Month this April!
Volunteer Impact: Pinwheels for Prevention creates awareness of strategies and programs that are proven to prevent child abuse and neglect before they occur! Pinwheels represent the great childhoods that all children deserve.
Volunteer Duties: Become a pinwheel partner and help us plant Pinwheels in Parks on Tuesday, April 2 at 2:30 pm. Volunteers are needed to help plant 200 pinwheels at the following parks:

Plan to kickoff your volunteer experience by joining us at 1:15 pm at Nash Square for the Pinwheels in Parks opening ceremony.
Volunteer Requirements: Volunteers will check in with community center staff at the location they registered for and complete a release form prior to volunteering.

Staff will provide volunteers with a welcome, pinwheels and instructions to plant pinwheels, and the location in the park to plant.
