Volunteer
Our entire team behind RRUFF is comprised of volunteers. If you have a few free hours that you can dedicate to others, or a skill that can be shared, we will be happy to channel it in the right direction.
Throughout the year, we need help with park maintenance and cleanup, event support and other activities to keep the park thriving. Check out some of the opportunities below and let us know how you'd like to help - we appreciate you!
RRUFF can continue to promote responsible dog ownership, help develop new community education, support Disabled American Veterans & first responders, and undertake other activities because of the work of active volunteers and our fundraising efforts. We always need new volunteers and ideas. We offer community service hours to students, court-ordered hours, and anyone else who needs them. And, if a parent also volunteers, we double the hours for the student. Helping staff our booth at events and weekend dog park clean up are two of the most popular volunteer opportunities for students.
Healing Heroes—Your involvement with the Healing Heroes Program includes fundraising, community outreach, and participating in veteran-related events and RRUFF-hosted events. If you are passionate about veterans and first responders and their issues, this committee is for you.
Events—Staff our table at RRUFF-hosted and community events. Most events are on weekends during the day from June through October and require only a 1-2 hour commitment. Hand out flyers and talk about the dog park and the Healing Heroes Program. This is great for students needing community service hours.
Fundraising – You will help us coordinate and execute fundraising activities to generate revenue for the RRUFF Dog Park and the Healing Heroes Program. The money raised will fund service dog training classes, help finance the purchase of equipment and amenities for the dog park, and maintain and enhance the Special Needs Area.
Maintenance – Your hands-on physical involvement will help add amenities, repair existing amenities, and assemble new equipment and special projects. If you are available on weekends, we are responsible for Saturday and Sunday dog park clean up ( i.e., scooping the poop and emptying the trash cans). Great for students! We also have occasional “work days” throughout the year for 1-2 hours on a Saturday morning.
Docent—As a docent, you have a special opportunity to be visible at the park on a regular basis, greeting new visitors, helping them become acquainted with the rules, and educating them on proper dog park etiquette.
