AmeriCorps members commit to serving with the Parks and Recreation Department for a period of 3, 6, or 10 months. Members will be improving green spaces in West Lafayette. The mission of the West Lafayette Parks and Recreation Department is to enhance the quality of life in the city by connecting its citizens to the best possible parks, recreational facilities, and programs. Our AmeriCorps program aims to further develop and conserve our public greenspaces through service experience. The department is seeking AmeriCorps members interested in park restoration efforts. Project members will participate in reducing the impact of invasive species, restoring native plants and habitats, reducing erosion, protecting watersheds, increasing public safe access, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, and protecting flora and fauna. Improvement will be consistent with an accepted natural resource restoration, maintenance, or improvement plan.
