Poricy Park Needs You! The Park is unusual in its degree of volunteer involvement. Volunteers conduct programs, perform office work, build and maintain exhibits, and carry out other vital tasks. 

Many young people have completed service projects for the Park, earning themselves advancement toward prestigious awards, such as Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts or Gold Award for Girl Scouts.

Additionally volunteers discover new friends, new talents, and new skills through involvement in Poricy Park.
