We do better when we do things together! The volunteer opportunities in the City of Modesto are endless. Whether you want to help out by participating in a planting day at the Tuolumne River Regional Park, your service club wants to raise money for a new play structure in a neighborhood park, or you want to donate your time to a special event, you can partner with the City and together we can do great things!

Takin' It To The Streets!

The Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Department has organized three citywide volunteer cleanup days.  This is a great opportunity for businesses, groups, families and individuals to get involved.  Get together with your neighbors and cleanup your neighborhood or volunteer in a target area. 


                    March 27, 2010 - Spring Cleanup
                    June 5, 2010 - National Trails Day
                    September 11, 2010 - Community Service Day

To volunteer for one or all of these cleanup dates, complete a Volunteer Application and Waiver (found above) and return to Heather Grigsby. 

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

In addition to many special volunteer opportunities, the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Department offers the following ongoing volunteer opportunities.  These projects foster community ownership of parks and facilities and often expedite the development of projects that are not provided for in the annual budget.
