We offer a number of ways to volunteer. Whether you like talking with visitors about nature and park history, planting wildflowers and pulling weeds, or helping fundraise for the Park, we offer volunteer opportunities for every level of commitment. If you like being part of a team or prefer a more solitary volunteer experience, we have a program to fit your style.
With volunteer help in 2022, we provided over 750 hours of stewardship work, hosted our most successful fundraiser to date, and engaged in more than 10,000 visitor interactions in the Park.
Our programs are offered at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, Lincoln Park Conservatory and Gardens, and North Pond Nature Sanctuary. Each of these beautiful park sites is located in Lincoln Park near Fullerton Parkway and Stockton Drive. Groups are welcome to contact us to set up a special workday for your team.
Exercise your body and your mind while helping your park – volunteer today!
Become a volunteer docent at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool (volunteer April-November) or the Lincoln Park Conservatory and Gardens (year-round).
Get your hands dirty! Help restore and maintain the North Pond Nature Sanctuary and its surroundings on regularly-scheduled Saturday mornings from April to October.
Support local nature and enjoy some time outside with your team by volunteering at a private workday in the park. Projects are available year round.
Volunteer your time and talents to help plan and carry out our annual fundraiser by serving on the Gala for Lincoln Park committee.
