Special Community Event Opportunity! 

Bluegrass and BBQ at Alms Park

Friday, September 26 | 4:30pm - 9:30pm

Event support for Alms Allies! Volunteers will help set up, provide support throughout the event with basic event tasks and help break down. Volunteers over 21 can help serve beer. 

Sign up Below!

Work with Parks Staff and members of the Alms Park Advisory Council (Alms Park Allies) in their efforts to improve the overall health of the park and support maintenance efforts. Projects will often include invasive species mitigation efforts as well as beautification efforts and grounds maintenance tasks.

The removal of invasive species is part of ongoing efforts to restore our native forest understory. Volunteers will use loppers and handsaws to cut invasive Amur honeysuckle and may also be cutting invasive porcelain berry vine. On some volunteer days we will also plant native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. 

Non - native plants such as honeysuckle and porcelain berry grow aggressively in this climate and create real problems for our native ecosystem. These invasive plants choke out the natural growth of native plants that provide more for a healthy under story and more for local wildlife. There are also safety concerns, as these plants grow fast and thick, and obstruct sightlines in public areas. Poison ivy (a native plant) also grows in these parks, please be cautious and aware of your surroundings.

Volunteers should be prepared for the weather in clothing appropriate for the temperature, wear long pants and layers (long sleeves), close-toed shoes are required. Suggested: face covering, gloves & refillable water bottle. Cincinnati Parks discourages single - use plastics.  

Cincinnati Parks and Alms Allies will supply tools and equipment. 

The location to meet for volunteer events is the Pavilion in Alms Park! 4H6C+P6 Cincinnati, Ohio 

Please note: BBQ & Bluegrass is a community event, not a habitat restoration event. We welcome volunteers for this event as well! 

Marjorie Book seeks volunteers to work alongside teens and adults with physical and/or intellectual disabilities as we participate in this volunteer opportunity.  Volunteers will receive guidance to assist people with disabilities with the tasks required, or simply work in pairs or small groups and converse while volunteering.

The Mill Creek Trail is a multi-use walking and biking trail that runs in segments from Carthage to Northside.  We will use reacher/grabber tools to pick up litter along the trail and prevent it from polluting the Mill Creek, Cincinnati’s urban stream that stretches from Butler County to the Ohio River.  We may also pull invasive species.  We don’t walk especially far during this service project, and so the activity level should be accessible to all.   We do bring a few wheelchairs with us, just in case they are needed.   We’ll work rain or shine and meet in the parking lot of the Caldwell Sports Complex.   Please dress for the weather, which will likely be cool.   Marjorie Book will have ponchos available in case it rains.  There is a portable toilet at this location, but only in the summer and the fall and may not be available at this time.

To help you, and our participants to get the most of the experience, volunteers are asked to read our volunteer handout prior to attending an event.

Youth Leadership Seminar Overview:

This year we have the limited invites to 83 schools in the Tri-State to come hear motivational speakers, discuss service challenge projects focused on making an impact in their communities, and reflect on this year’s event theme.

What Will I Be Doing?

Volunteer roles range from registration, lunch distribution, to facilitating breakout sessions. 

Breakout Session Leader: We are looking for Breakout session leaders will help facilitate a conversation with students and give them the platform to self-reflect, discuss meaningful issues with students from other schools, and put into place after-event action plans. Each facilitator will have a group of around 10 -15 students from multiple different schools. Our facilitators will help guide these sessions by connecting and engaging with the students, reflecting on what they have heard and learned, assisting in conversations, and guiding them through the session. Breakout session conversations will reflect in part on the talks given by one of our morning speakers.

When Do I Volunteer?

Breakout Session Only: 9:00am – 1:00pm (limited)

Where Does the Event Take Place?

Crossroads in Mason

Additional Event Details

This year, we will be assigning specific clean-up crews for the end of the day. We will keep the training videos for our breakout sessions but will work to simplify the content. We wish we could pair up each facilitator but the logistics behind registering up to 36 additional volunteers is tricky. We’d also love to stream those morning speakers for you, too. If we didn’t need the meeting ahead of time, we’d gladly let everyone sit in on the speakers. We will be sure to give you a more in-depth overview of their talk, though!
