In the Community
Parks & Recreation Volunteer Opportunity
From Danville Parks and Recreation: If you’re looking for volunteer hours, consider volunteering for Danville Parks and Recreation for their after school program. Working with children ages 5-12 after school and exposing them to various activities, clubs and hobbies is vital for their future success in education! No matter what your club or hobby, we are interested in having you come and lead an activity for the children, approximately 2-3 hours a week (for two different sites). Whether you’re in a comic club and want to teach the kids about comics, reading, or anime- or if you’re in a science club and would be interested in teaching the kids something that YOU’RE passionate about! Introducing children to extra-curricular activities and hobbies keeps them safe, engaged in the community, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Opportunities are between 3pm-6pm daily. Show the kids your passion and get involved!

Please contact Megan Lawson who is the Out of School Program Coordinator with Danville Parks and Recreation at 434-799-5150 or  lawsome@danvilleva.gov.
