Volunteering

with M-NCPPC Department of Parks and Recreation Giving to the community, having fun, learning new things, developing skills for employment and sharing your passions are just some of the great reasons to volunteer. Improved overall health, reduced depression and loneliness, and increased life satisfaction are among the well-documented benefits of volunteering. M-NCPPC’s Department of Parks and Recreation in Prince George’s County offers many ways for individuals, families, corporations, community groups, students, and scouts to get involved. You’ll see volunteers at our facilities, programs, and events throughout the county - just look for the cheery orange t-shirts. This page shares a few highlights of our volunteers in action.

Adopt-a-Trail

Enjoying the peacefulness of nature and maintaining the trail for future users. These are just some of the reasons why Santos and Figgy Febus volunteer to adopt a 1-1/2-mile portion of the Northeast Branch of the Anacostia Trail. An Army medic veteran and a nurse, respectively, Santos and Figgy find serenity doing this type of task. They said that it helps their state of mind - as well as maintaining physical health. They also enjoy and appreciate the opportunity

Summer Day Camp and Summer Playgrounds Summer is the perfect time for teens to begin their

volunteer journey with M-NCPPC’s Department of Parks and Recreation. While younger children enjoy the fun of play at Summer Playgrounds, Explorer and specialty camps, teens develop leadership skills and learn to work as part of a team while volunteering at these day camps

Group Opportunities

Volunteering together gives group members a fun way to develop as a team. Adopt-a-Trail and Adopt-a-Park volunteer opportunities are only two of the programs that are great ways for Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, school and church service clubs, families, and corporate service teams to volunteer throughout the year. There are many festivals, community days, and beautification and litter removal projects that are ideal opportunities.

Figgy shared a recent experience. “Today we went to clean the trail and wore the volunteer t-shirts. It was exciting seeing people notice that we’re volunteering and that we’re keeping the trail clean for them. It was a beautiful evening. The extra benefit of cleaning the trail is that we get a great workout as well – 3 miles.” Santos and Figgy also take care of special projects on the trail.

Cherry Hill Cemetery is a late-1800's African American family burial ground. Established in 1884 on the farm of Josiah Adams, it is significant as the only intact African American family farm cemetery in the BladensburgRiverdale-Hyattsville area. Graves are marked with slabs of local ironstone and yucca plants. The cemetery has interpretive signage and is open for self-guided tours.

Dorsey Chapel is an excellent example of the small frame, meetinghouse-style church that was the focal point of the rural African American community. Constructed in 1900, the one-room chapel was used until 1971, when the congregation merged with Perkins Chapel to form the Glenn Dale United Methodist Church. M-NCPPC acquired the vacated and deteriorating chapel in 1992, and fully restored it. Capacity: 50.

Tours by appointment; Please call to schedule a tour.

Abraham Hall, home of the Benevolent Sons and Daughters of Abraham, Rebecca Lodge #6, was built on this site in 1889. It is a two-story front-gabled building of wood frame construction. Abraham Hall has served as a meeting place, landmark, and touchstone of the African American community of Rossville. Today, the site houses M-NCPPC’s Black History Program.

Darnall’s Chance was built in 1742 for a wealthy Scottish merchant and entrepreneur named James Wardrop. The house, a 15-room Georgian mansion, was the mainstay of a dwelling complex that included eight brick outbuildings, a rare underground brick burial vault, ornamental & vegetable gardens, an orchard, and livestock. Following Wardrop’s death in 1760, his widow Lettice Lee married medical pioneer Dr. Adam Thomson and later Revolutionary War patriot Col. Joseph Sim. Museum tours highlight the similarities and differences between Lettice Lee and the lives of other 18th century women gentry, middling, and enslaved. Museum exhibits and gift shop on premises.

Resident Registration and Fees The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission policy gives priority to Prince George’s County residents during program and class enrollment; it also increases registration fees by approximately 30 percent for non-residents, or those living outside Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. This procedure ensures that the citizens who fund these programs through their tax dollars have the first option to enroll. After the priority registration period, registrations are accepted from residents of all jurisdictions. The fee schedule applies to all Commission programs and facilities in Prince George’s County, with a few exceptions such as performance tickets and historic site admission fees. *NOTE: Full payment is due at registration unless a class or program has a scheduled payment structure i.e. Kids’ Care, Trips & Excursions. Need help? Email the Customer Service Help Desk at CustomerService@pgparks.com.

♥ Tai Chi: Seniors

Increase your inner peace! Non-competitive, self-paced, and relaxing, Tai Chi is an ancient art of exercise for balance, stretching, muscle tone, and flexibility. In this mind-body practice, as described by Harvard Health, we gain focus, move gently, usually in a small circular fashion, while breathing deeply. Tai Chi is adaptable to those with joint, muscle, and back problems. Glenarden Community Center
