There are many volunteer opportunities available at Jefferson Barracks through the Volunteer Coordinator's office. We offer everything from hands-on work with the gardening crew. The Gardeners do beautiful work in the garden of the Laborer's House, Powder Magazine Museum and at the North Gate. They have a lot of fun working together and are an inspired group with which to work. If you like walking you may be interested in the Parks Trail Watch program. These yellow-vested volunteers walk the many trails of St Louis County Parks and contact the Parks Department if anything appears out of sort. They are the eyes and ears of the Trails in the Park system.
There are many other way to contribute. Each volunteer is an unique addition to our team and brings their own specialized skill set to help grow a wonderfull family of volunteers. Give back to your community by becomeing a volunteer with St Louis County Parks by reaching out to Krista.
