Volunteer

The Key Pen Parks Volunteer Program is designed to promote the spirit of partnership that Key Pen Parks encourages and enjoys with the citizens and local businesses on the Key Peninsula.

The mission of our volunteer program is to increase  interactions between the park, the citizens and local businesses for a two-fold purpose. The first, is to help Key Pen Parks enhance its existing service offerings and/or expand them through the use of volunteer expertise. The second, is to bring every demographic of the Key Peninsula population together to achieve a stronger, more connected community.

If you are interested in getting involved by volunteering or promoting a volunteer opportunity, please fill out a ​Volunteer Application and email volunteer@keypenparks.com

Adopt-a-Park Program

Thank you for taking an interest in Key Pen Parks' Adopt-a-Park Program. This program is designed to promote community involvement in our parks. We are encouraging volunteer groups and individuals to help with the park they adopt at least four times a year to pick up any garbage and debris and help maintain a safe environment for our citizens. You act as caring eyes for Key Pen Parks as we ask you to report any conditions you find that need attention. Garbage bags are provided to anyone who is an Adopt-a-Park participant. 

If you or your organization is interested in adopting a park, please fill out Adopt-a-Park application email volunteer@keypenparks.com
