Volunteer Opportunities

As a not-for-profit organization, so much of what we do relies upon the hard work and generosity of our volunteers.

We engage the community through volunteerism which provides our organization with a broader perspective and bolsters our expertise. Every single volunteer will have a purpose and will be recognized as we know and understand the value of their time and effort to our organization.

Whether it's our Board of Directors, volunteer committees, or the people on the ground making each event happen, we wouldn't be anywhere without them. Westerner Park volunteers come from a variety of ages and backgrounds, and some have been with us for over sixty years!

It takes over 600 volunteers and approximately 21 committees to plan and organize Westerner Park produced events.
