now hiring volunteers

Silver Lake thrives solely because of the time and energy offered by its member volunteers.  Listed below are the many open and available projects we need members to volunteer to champion.

AD HOC EFFORTS

Any member may complete any or all of these ad hoc tasks at any time:

  • Cut ivy off at tree bases
  • Trail & shoreline trash, debris cleanup
  • Clean boardwalks to avoid slipping
  • Clear fallen/rotted trees

If you are able to volunteer as a champion for a project you are seeking, you will move your project to the top of the list; SLCA will support you by fully funding the effort quickly.

If you are only able to request a new project, and not volunteer to champion it as well, it will take some time until we are able to address your request; the current list of existing projects is quite extensive.
