Appleton Parks and Recreation is proud to offer our VIP (Volunteer in Parks) Junior Leader Program. Make the most of your summer by becoming a Junior Leader to our summer playground program. This program is intended to offer young adults who are 14 years of age and older an opportunity to gain both experience and knowledge of the skills it takes to become a playground leader. VIP – Junior Leaders will assist the Playground Leaders in leading games, helping with crafts, and setting a positive example for younger children. The program runs from June 12 – August 13. Responsible teens must commit to volunteering a minimum of 6 hours per week. Each playground site is limited to two Junior Leaders.
