Park Ambassadors

 

Share your love for Patterson Park!

Our Park Ambassadors are one of our greatest assets, sharing their love for the park and connecting park users with the exciting park programming and volunteer opportunities they’re seeking! If you enjoy chatting with new people about your favorite park, you’ll be great at this volunteer opportunity. Ambassadors also help to sell Friends of Patterson Park merchandise (cash handling and point of sale processing…it’s simple!), and take membership payments and email newsletter sign ups.
