Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer with Missoula Parks and Recreation!

Your Parks and Trails need your help! Find out you or your group can contribute to your community by giving back to our Trails and Parks! We have opportunities for people of all ages and abilities! It can be as simple as an individual helping for an hour on your day off, or your community organization adopting a local park to help keep it clean year round. Please click the link below, or email Tyler Decker, phone 552-6271 to find out what you can do to help!
