Volunteer with us!
Volunteers are the key to The Friends of Presqu’ile Park. Our association is 100% run by volunteers and, as such, we rely on our members and friends to help with projects, committees, and fund-raising events.
Did you know, you don’t need to be a member to volunteer with us!
Much of what you see in Presqu’ile has been funded or built by the Friends. According to Ontario Parks, since the Friends were formed in 1988, we have contributed over $5 million into the Park. This is a remarkable achievement, made possible by each and every one of our volunteers.
Guess what? We can always use more help. How great would it feel to build a trail that thousands of visitors will enjoy every year? Or work a special event that raises funds for the education and environment programs we run? There are so many ways you can help as a volunteer – from getting down and dirty in the park to attending team meetings. And we appreciate every hour.
Please note: Presqu’ile no longer has a volunteer Park Host program. The program has been replaced by the Park Ambassador Program, where the park’s Ambassador staff member provides assistance to campers.
Volunteers can participate in opportunities such as:
- Interpreting in the Nature Centre or Lighthouse Interpretive Centre
- Greeting visitors at special event weekends in the park
- Fundraising activities
- Community events
- Building boardwalks or picnic tables
- Staffing the Lighthouse Gift Shop
- Summer barbecues
- Joining a committee
