Friends of City Park offers a variety of experiences for our volunteers. Our annual fundraisers would not be a reality without the dedication of our generous volunteers, who assist with everything from decorating to serving food. In addition to our annual events, in 2010 Friends of City Park teamed up with City Park and the Young Leadership Council for our very first Super Saturday Volunteer Day where we replanted the area around Popp Fountain. Our volunteers got their hands dirty and helped refurbish one of the park’s most historic areas.
We also have a pool of volunteers who help to serve as ambassadors for Friends of City Park at local community events. In the past, we have attended Wednesday’s at the Square, French Quarter Festival and local markets such as the Palmer Park Arts Market. At each of these events, our staff and volunteers interact with the community to help promote the organization’s mission and to also emphasize the organization’s commitment to supporting the New Orleans’ community as a whole.
If you are interested in volunteering at one of our annual fundraisers or at a community outreach opportunity, please contact friends@friendsofcitypark.com for more information.
