Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering in local government is one of the best ways that you can give back to your immediate community...and make a big impact! The City is always looking for individuals to volunteer on boards and committees, in recreation programs, and during special events.

Open Volunteer Positions


Adopt a Flower Bed

Every spring, residents and organizations are given the opportunity to adopt a flower bed in Woodland Park. Our Facilities & Grounds team provides the flowers, tools, and suggested planting pattern. We ask volunteers to plant the flower beds and to pull weeds in their garden throughout the season. Register as an individual or group by contacting Public Works at 719 687 5293.

Boards, Committees, Commissions

The City seeks volunteers to serve on various boards, committees, and commissions. These are opportunities for residents to use their unique insight and experiences as a participant in city government.
