Volunteer

One of the best ways to help is to make a gift of your time and your special talents. If you can help us by volunteering please let us know your skills and how you can best help your park. Volunteering is such a wonderful opportunity to make use of those skills or that knowledge you don’t get a chance to use during your day-to-day activities. Love to bake? Perhaps you’d like to prepare goodies to help raise funds during a special event. Have a penchant for wildflowers or gardening? The Native Plant and Butterfly Trail can always use an extra pair of hands. Like to meet people? How about working at an information booth during an event? Neatness and orderliness your thing? Maybe you’d like to help clean up various areas.

 

Below are some of the volunteer opportunities we offer every year, in addition to those associated with our projects like the Muddy Creek Oil Field and the Foltz Schoolhouse.

​

• February: Help out at the Cherry Pie Hike at Jennings by volunteering at our booth.

• May: Come on down to help at our aid station for the Glacier Ridge Ultramarathon! Or help with trail maintenance or invasive plant pulls at the parks. 

• July: Volunteer at the 3MJC booth or help out with various activities at Celebrate the Bloom at Jennings.

• Early August:  Help at the Moraine State Park Regatta, which is always looking for volunteers.

• September: Join us at our booth at the McConnells Mill Heritage Festival for a beautiful autumn day of folk music, park tours, and kettle corn.

 

To volunteer, send us an email at 3mjcparks@gmail.com to find out specific dates and to learn more ways you can help us Partner with our Parks! We’d love to hear from you!

 

 

Donate

If you’d prefer to simply give money to a park or a specific park program, that works too! We can direct donations to your favorite park or to a cause within a park. Perhaps you’d like to donate a picnic table, a bench or a tree to environmental education. Perhaps you’d like to help out the Native Plant and Butterfly Trail or help the Muddy Creek Oil Well keep up its operation. Perhaps you have a cause no one’s even thought about. We can guarantee that 100% of your donation will be directed to the purpose you choose. We do not charge for services nor do we have any paid staff. We are all volunteers working to improve our parks. Send your donation to 3MJC, c/o Moraine State Park, 225 Pleasant Valley Road, Portersville, PA 16051. We accept checks made payable to “3MJC”.
