Volunteer Opportunities

Do you enjoy seeing clean and vibrant parks for all to enjoy? So do we! The Van Wert Parks & Recreation Department is happy to be able to offer volunteer opportunities to the public. Volunteer opportunities can be more then picking up trash or pulling weeds. It can also be volunteering to be a youth baseball or flag football coach or even dressing up in a Easter Rabbit costume for our Easter Egg Hunt! If giving back to your local community is a passion of yours, we have plenty of areas that you can assist with.
