Mission Statement

The mission of the City of Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Department Volunteer Program is to actively promote a mutually rewarding relationship between volunteers who offer their talents, skills and time and staff who will support them in their efforts to cooperatively foster stewardship of our community’s parks, natural areas, and recreation and social programs.

Description

Mercer Island is best served by the active participation of its citizens in all aspects of community life. Through involvement in civic, environmental and special event activities, as well as recreation, our citizens of all ages learn more about their City while forming strong bonds with one another. To this end, the City of Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Department accepts and encourages the involvement of volunteers within all appropriate programs and activities. All staff members, as well as others in leadership roles are encouraged to assist in the creation of meaningful and productive roles for volunteers.
