Indiana Dunes National Park and Dunes Tourism offer Volunteer Opportunities

Indiana Dunes National Park and Indiana Dunes Tourism have partnered to offer Drop-In Volunteering, described as a no-hassle volunteer option for those looking to help out at the Indiana Dunes. Opportunities will be available nearly every day of the week and include stewardship, restoration, park clean-up, and more.  On Saturday, April 16, 2022, from 9 am to 12 noon, meet at the Park Connection Office located next to the Bailly/Chellberg parking lot for a morning of stewardship in your national park. In addition, daily from 10 am to 4 pm, stop by the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center on North State Road 49 in Porter or the Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education on North Lake Street in Gary for the “Trash Trekkers” program. Grab a bag at either center and help keep beaches and trails clean. No formal commitment is necessary; simply drop-in at these locations during program hours to get started. Remember to dress appropriately for the work you will be doing. The national park will provide gear and training to anyone interested in lending a hand to help preserve the Indiana Dunes.  For more information on volunteer opportunities at Indiana Dunes National Park, call the Park Connection office at 219-221-7098 or visit www.indianadunes.com/volunteer .
