Volunteer Opportunities

Over the course of each year, the Parks & Recreation Department utilizes volunteers to help our events run smoothly.  We always need people at our race events (Run thru the Hills in April, the LITH Triathlon in June, Sunset 5K in September) to help register the athletes, give out goodie bags, or direct runners on the course.

 

Park Clean-up Day, held in April each year, would be the perfect way for groups or individuals to enjoy the spring weather while giving a much-needed spring face lift to a local park.

 

Our Adopt-A-Park Program is great for groups looking for a longer-term project.  Groups can choose to take care of one of the many parks in Lake in the Hills, keeping it clean and litter-free for a year.

 

Other local events that need people to help out are the annual Summer Sunset Festival in September, the Festival of Trees and Santa Ride-In held in December, and our Family Fun Night held in March.

 

If you would like more information about volunteer opportunities that are available, please contact the Parks & Recreation Department at 847-960-7460.
