The Lincoln Park Conservancy offers a variety of ways to volunteer.
Whether you enjoy talking with the public about nature and park history, planting wildflowers and pulling weeds, or planning fundraisers, we offer volunteer opportunities for every level of commitment. If you like being part of a team or prefer a more solitary volunteer experience, we have a program to fit your style. Groups are welcome to contact us to set up a special workday for your school, club or corporation.
Each year our volunteers have fun while donating thousands of service hours to Lincoln Park. Last year, over 1,000 volunteers participated in our programs providing 5,000 service hours to the park.
All of our programs are offered at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, Lincoln Park Conservatory and Gardens, and North Pond Nature Sanctuary. Each of these beautiful park sites is located in Lincoln Park near Fullerton Parkway and Stockton Drive in Chicago.
