Madison Parks, along with volunteer organizations, offer numerous opportunities throughout the year to help make our parks more beautiful. Opportunities and activities are coordinated by Parks staff and volunteer groups.

    The volunteer interest form is the first step for individuals and groups to show your interest and learn more.
  2. Step 2: Volunteer Work Release
    Individuals and groups must complete the volunteer release form prior to completing any work in a park.
  3. Step 3: Volunteer Hours
    Once work is completed, track your volunteer hours. For individuals and groups.
