VCCD Volunteer Benefits

The Vermilion County Conservation District greatly appreciates the faithful volunteers who dedicate so much time, energy, and talent.  The parks would not function without the assistance of all the volunteers. 

To show appreciation, our volunteers receive many benefits (with required minimum number of hours) including:

• Invitation to Summer Cookout

• Invitation to Volunteer Appreciation Dinner

• Discounts on park buildings and shelters

• Free camping

Personal benefits you will enjoy while volunteering:

• Life-long friendships with other volunteers

• Great memories made while spending time in the great outdoors at your county parks

• Getting to know your community neighbors

• Personal satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing to the success of the VCCD

Some volunteers donate over 100 hours a year, some only donate 10; the choice is yours!  Information and training are provided for all volunteer positions.  Volunteering is also a great resume builder!
