Volunteering at Carver County Parks

If you like being active outside, this is a great place to get involved. Volunteers are a vital part of our parks community. You can help with stewardship and Adopt-a-Trail projects, or assist with adult and youth programs such as canoeing, archery, stand-up paddleboarding and log rolling.

Let us know what interests you!

The Value of Volunteers

Volunteering brings tremendous value to Carver County communities. The time, energy and expertise our volunteers contribute help mentor youth, educate residents, clean up lakes and rivers, promote active lifestyles and complete important tasks that might otherwise go unfinished.

At Carver County, we deeply appreciate our volunteers and recognize the impact they have on our residents and natural resources.

Thank you for sharing your time, energy and expertise with our programs.
