We are in need of volunteers and there many ways for you to get involved!
• Work independently or join a small group of volunteers to help beautify and care for our parks
• Or maybe at this time you are more interested in helping fellow community members during COVID-19? APRC and the City of Ashland partner with Adopt a Neighbor Ashland to pair volunteers with their more high-risk neighbors for shopping and errands. Visit adoptneighbor.org to volunteer!
• In addition, our Senior Services Division has partner agencies that are seeking volunteers to help deliver food to seniors and provide rides to medical appointments.
All of these volunteer opportunities are flexible, and some meet critical needs during the pandemic. If you are interested, please contact Sulaiman Shelton, Volunteer Coordinator for APRC at 541.552.2264 or sulaiman.shelton@ashland.or.us. Volunteer with us, “It’s the Natural thing to Do!”
