Volunteers Make A Difference!

Want to give back? Volunteer! Opportunities to volunteer with the Clayton Parks and Recreation Department are almost unlimited. Help out at a one-day special event or assist on an ongoing basis. Volunteer opportunities are available for individuals, neighbors, families, students, co-workers…everyone! Whether you like the indoors or the outdoors, we need you! 

How to Get Involved:

Youth Sports Head Coach/Assistant Coach

Consider helping with the Youth Sports programs as a head coach or an assistant coach. You will be able to help youth build their esteem, and develop skills. You will also get a reduced rate for your child to participate in the league. For more information about coaching, contact David Willey at dwilley@claytonmo.gov or 314-290-8508.

Park Clean-Up

Help keep your community clean by volunteering for park clean-up. Park service helps keep your local parks clean and vibrant for everyone’s enjoyment. For more information about opportunities in the parks, contact Justin Whipple at jwhipple@claytonmo.gov.
