Volunteer and Community Service

Volunteer Opportunities and Community Service Projects

Many of Jupiter's teens are required to complete volunteer hours in order to graduate from High School or for specific academic classes and programs. Volunteers can work in different areas of the Recreation Division depending upon your skills and needs. Please note that we cannot accept volunteers with court-ordered community service hours. All volunteers must register online (below). The following is a list of upcoming Volunteer Opportunities:

Easter Egg Hunt - Saturday, April 7; 8am-Noon, Jupiter Community Center
Teens will assist with decorating, arts & crafts, inflatables, Easter Bunny visits and more at this family-oriented event. Registration will begin March 1.
Turtle Trot 5K - Saturday, May 5; 5am-11am, Carlin Park, Jupiter
Responsible teens and adults are needed for this annual 5K run. Volunteers will assist with registration, packet pick-up, water stations, parking, and more. Registration will begin March 1.

Online Volunteer Registration

All volunteers who register online will be contacted by a Recreation Division employee during the week of the actual event to inform them of directions regarding their responsibilities for the event. (Please do not be alarmed if volunteers are not contacted immediately after registering.) At that time, they will be given specific times and locations, as well as what to wear for the event. Once signed up online, it is the volunteer's responsibility to make sure they are available to work for the duration of the times listed above. The success of all Town of Jupiter events is highly dependent upon all of our volunteers so it is extremely important that you show up at the required time with a commitment to your assignment.

If you have questions please call 561-741-2400 or e-mail.

PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER IF YOU ARE NOT COMMITTED TO WORKING THE EVENT!

For questions please call or email Julie Wark or Howard Queen at (561)741-2400. Spaces are limited and fill up on a first come first serve basis so don't delay! Keep in mind that all volunteers are expected to work hard at whatever task they are assigned and for the entire duration of the event! Please be sure to bring any community service documents that may need to be signed by the event coordinator. You will receive a letter in the mail from the Town of Jupiter approximately 2-3 weeks following the event for proof of hours served to be submitted to your school for documentation of community service hours. Please check this site periodically for updates on upcoming seasonal special event volunteer opportunities. Make it a rewarding experience for everyone involved, including yourself!
