Volunteers - "The Unsung Heroes"
At the Champaign Park District, we believe that volunteerism is
one of the highest forms of recreation! With an abundance of programs
and events, and acres of gardens and park land, the Champaign
Park District is fertile ground to lend your time or talent. Whether
you want to exercise your green thumb, work with children, help
at the Virginia Theatre, or assist with a special event, the Champaign
Park District invites you to be a member of their team!

Teen
Volunteerism – Gain Work Experience!
If you are at least 13 years of age, enthusiastic, hard working,
and willing to learn, we can coordinate volunteer hours around your
schedule. This is a great opportunity to acquire new skills and
gain valuable work experience.
Please
note, teen volunteers are only permitted to work a maximum of 25
hours per week.
Corporate
Volunteerism – Build Your Public Image!
What better way to build your public image in the community in which
you do business than to volunteer? Volunteering can also help to
improve staff morale and build a TEAM attitude! There are many opportunities
for your business to contribute staff and/or resources for a single
service project or an ongoing activity.
Volunteer
Coaches – Be a Role Model and a Friend!
Are you passionate about sports? Be a volunteer coach! Share your love of the game with kids in the community. In our youth sports programs, we believe that winning has less to do with the scoreboard and more to do with core values of Sportsmanship,
Opportunity, Fun and Instruction. As a Champaign Park District coach, we
expect that you'll emulate these values and hopefully keep fit and make
friends along the way. For further information,
