IMPD Spring 2021

It's My Park Day Spring 2021

It’s My Park Day Spring will be a hybrid event including both virtual and in-person volunteer opportunities. The event runs June 5th - 13th with limited in-person opportunities on APF's 29th Birthday - Saturday, June 12th.

Register via GivePulse today! Due to the City of Austin’s COVID-19 safety protocols capacity for in-person opportunity is limited. Virtual volunteer activities will be posted on our website and GivePulse on Saturday, June 5th.

We’re dreaming of the day we can return to a huge It's My Park Day. In the meantime, we’re excited to have generous volunteers like you helping our city’s outdoor spaces in person and virtually.
