Volunteer Opportunities

A group of volunteers work on cleaning up the river trail

The City of Madera welcomes civic organizations, schools, clubs, scout troops, businesses, and individual citizens who wish to help clean, maintain, and improve our City parks. We also support corporations and businesses interested in employee service projects.

Volunteer opportunities vary in scope, and groups of all sizes and ages can be accommodated. Typical tasks include painting, trash pickup, tree and brush trimming, river cleanups, and other site-specific projects. In addition, we are always seeking volunteer coaches to assist with youth sports programs.

Residents also have the opportunity to serve on voluntary boards and commissions, which help advise elected representatives on important community matters.

Get involved today—volunteer, coach, or apply to serve on a board or commission—and help shape Madera's future!

If you or someone you know is interested in coaching a youth or adult sports team, and would like to learn more about the volunteer opportunities we offer, please contact the Parks Department at 1 (559) 662-4987.
