Want to volunteer for the City of Duluth... just "Pick A Day"

Citizens interested in giving back to their community now have an easy way to access those City of Duluth volunteer opportunities. From Memorial Day to Labor Day one specific day of
the week will be dedicated to bringing volunteers together at one site to keep our city clean and beautiful. Volunteers can simply ‘Pick A Day’, show up at the work site and work for a few
hours. Citizens who volunteer will be contributing to the community and will help keep our environment clean. All volunteer days will be staffed and supervised by a City of Duluth Park
Maintenance employee.

The ‘Pick a Day’ schedule is as follows:

  • Mondays Lakewalk Meet at the Vietnam Memorial at 10:00 AM Mulching flowers and shrub beds, weeding flower gardens, picking up trash and painting benches.
  • Tuesdays Rose Garden Meet at the Rose Garden Gazebo at 10:00 AM Deadheading roses, weeding flower beds, watering annuals, mulching and picking up trash.
