Volunteering for something you believe in
can be
one of the most gratifying and enjoyable things you can do and there’s
a bonus—volunteering is fun!
Volunteering is such a wonderful way of giving back
to your
community. In the process, you may find that you are also
helping yourself. As we go about our daily volunteering, we
often fail to take the time to enjoy the things around us.
What
have you given yourself lately? When was the last time you
took a walk in the park, visited the lake just to watch the tide,
discovered the beauty of
some of a new park, took a hike, rode
your bike, watched the sun rise or set, eyed the birds up in the
sky. Take time to marvel at all of the wonderful
beauty to be
seen right here right now at Lake Metroparks!
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Lake Metroparks!
Many volunteers have skills, talents and expertise to offer. Some desire to learn more about a topic that interests them.

Eleven students from Boston University are spending their spring break volunteering at Lake Metroparks. The trip is arranged through the university’s Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program. The students are helping our Outdoor Education staff in different areas of our park system this week.
The students from BU experienced the GREEN MAN GROUP float in a dress rehearsal in preparation for Lake Metropark's entry in the
St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Downtown Cleveland. Earlier in the week, the BU students helped take down lights and clean up at the ski center. They also became official toymakers as they spent time cutting wooden toys in preparation for Santa’s Toy Workshop, part of Country Lights.
