Indiana Dunes National Park and Indiana Dunes Tourism have partnered to offer Drop-In Volunteering, a no-hassle volunteer option for those looking to help out at the Indiana Dunes. Opportunities are available nearly every day of the week and include stewardship, restoration, park clean-up, and more.  

On Saturday, April 15, or the third Saturday of every month, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, meet at the Park Connection Office near the Chellberg Farm parking lot for a morning of stewardship in your national park. 

Daily, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, stop by the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center, at 1215 North State Road 49 in Porter, Indiana, or the Paul H. Douglas Center at 100 North Lake Street in Gary, Indiana, for the “Trash Trekkers” program. Grab a bag and help keep our beaches and trails clean. 

No formal commitment is necessary; simply drop-in at any of these locations during program hours to get started.Remember to dress appropriately for the work you will be doing; wear comfortable outdoor clothing and bring sunscreen, bug spray and water. The national park will provide gear and training to anyone interested in lending a hand to preserve the Indiana Dunes.
