We are Larger Than the Sum of Our Parts
Volunteer with HEParks
Our park district cannot thrive with staff support alone—we need the hearts, hands, and skills of our neighbors. Here, a team of dedicated volunteers creates connections, weaving the fabric of our community with every interaction.
We invite you to join our volunteer efforts. Whether you are passionate about coaching, have expertise in gardening and beautifying outdoor spaces, can contribute energy to our community events, or want to support our 50+ community center, there’s a place for you here.
Community grows stronger together.
