All Volunteer Program participants must complete an application and live scan fingerprinting for Recreation and Parks, and receive clearance from Human Resources, before beginning any volunteer work.

As part of the volunteer application, volunteers create an account in the Recreation and Parks volunteer database. Active registered volunteers and recent applicants can use this login button to access the online volunteer system.

Individuals logged into their volunteer record have easy access to see their active volunteer assignment(s), review their recorded service history, and update their profile/emergency contact information. Alternatively, volunteers and applicants can always check in with the Recreation and Parks staff they are working with, to learn more about their volunteer status or application process.
