Drop-in Service Days

Drop In and Lend a Hand

Looking for a flexible way to give back? Cleveland Metroparks offers seasonal drop-in volunteer projects with no long-term commitment required. These one-time opportunities are ideal for individuals, families and students in need of school service-hour requirements.

Projects typically run 2-3 hours and take place April through October. Registration is required for each participant and opens 60 days in advance. Youth registrations must be completed by a parent or guardian, and volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
