VOLUNTEER
YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!
You are invited to become a part of the Grand Island Parks and Recreation Department’s Volunteer Program and “enhance”
your community. You may volunteer as an individual or as part of a group on a one-time or ongoing basis. Individuals,
families, students, businesses and organizations have an opportunity to contribute time, talents and resources to our City
Park Facilities. Volunteer opportunities include: Being a youth coach, safety range officer, helping with a special event,
working with plants in the greenhouse and more!
GREENHOUSE VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are the backbone of the city greenhouse. The greenhouse has an
inherently calming atmosphere. The warm, humid air, smell of fresh soil and vibrant
green seedlings give volunteers a hint of spring. For more information call Brad Foster
385-5303.
Responsibilities: Assist the City Horticulturist with tasks such as potting and repotting
of plants; plant propagation; care and maintenance of annuals and perennials.
Greenhouse volunteers are needed year round.
