Upcoming Parks and Recreation Volunteer Opportunities

Deadheader at Raleigh Rose Garden

We are always looking for people who are interested in becoming a "Deadheader" (caregiver for the rose beds). All volunteers will be trained in the art of proper "deadheading" techniques. We ask that all Deadheaders volunteer a minimum of two hours per week per month. Volunteers are given rose beds to adopt and maintain from June - October.

Models at Sertoma

Looking for an exciting and easy way to pick up some volunteer hours? Sertoma Arts Center is looking for volunteers to be "live models" to pose for artists. All models will be fully clothed and must be 16 years or older. This is a great opportunity for high school and college students to get the necessary volunteer hours required by their schools and to assist the arts center. Models will also get to see the work created by the artist. Models can wear regular street clothes...anything from jeans to sweaters to dresses.

1:15pm - 4:30pm | Sundays
Sertoma Arts Center | 1400 W. Millbrook Road | 27612

Be sure to include your name, contact number, e-mail address and date(s) that you would be interested in volunteering.
