Volunteer
Interested in helping? First complete a volunteer application and background check. This is a standard, precautionary measure for everyone to ensure each person representing New Haven Adams Township Parks and Recreation is safe to be around children.
Every volunteer will be held accountable, just as an employee would be to his or her place of employment. Once the details are taken care of, you will be connected with an employee who is in charge of the area you are interested in volunteering. That person will help to coordinate your efforts, keep track of your hours, and assist you in any way you may need.
