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.
