Volunteer Opportunities

Whether you're a teen, adult, or senior you can make a difference in your community! The City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department welcomes volunteers, age 13 and older, in our programs.

Jr. Leader Volunteer Program

(13-17 year olds) - placements for teens include KIDCO sites, City pools, recreation centers, and some offices. One of the goals of the Jr. Leader Volunteer program is to provide hands-on pre-employment training to help bring better-trained entry-level employees to the City's programs.

Things to know about being a teen volunteer:
