Staff & Volunteer Opportunities
The Town of Wappinger Parks and Recreation is excited to introduce a new one-stop shop for staffing and volunteer opportunities at our events and programs! This page will be updated frequently with upcoming opportunities, so be sure to check back often for new shifts.
Who Can Sign Up?
- Paid shifts are available exclusively to existing Town of Wappinger employees, including seasonal employees.
- Volunteer shifts are open to anyone who would like to get involved and support our community.
- Each available shift will clearly indicate who is eligible to sign up.
Signing Up for a Shift
When you sign up, you are signing up for a shift, not a specific job or task. Your specific assignment will be determined when you arrive and report for your shift. This allows us to assign staff and volunteers where they are needed most and helps ensure each event runs smoothly.
Choose as Many Shifts as You’d Like!
Sign up for one shift, several shifts on the same day, or help out across multiple days! You can continue signing up for available shifts until we reach the number of staff and volunteers needed for each event.
Please double-check the dates and times of your shifts before completing your registration.
How the Sign-Up Process Works
Our system works much like an online store:
- Browse the available events and shifts.
- Add the shifts you would like to your cart.
- Once you have selected all of your desired shifts, go to your cart and check out.
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST COMPLETE CHECKOUT!
There is NO cost to sign up for a shift — your total will be $0.
However, you MUST complete the checkout process in order for your shift(s) to be officially registered.
Living History Day
Living History Day is being held in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary!
We are looking for staff to assist with a variety of activities throughout the event, including parking cars, leading crafts, assisting guests, and participating in simple historical demonstrations.
Some staff members may also be asked to dress in colonial attire to help bring the experience to life. Colonial outfits will be provided for those who are assigned to wear them.
Thank you for helping us create a fun, engaging, and memorable day for our guests!

Carnwath Showcase
You will be assisting with an exciting event introducing Carnwath Farms as the newest wedding and event space in the area!
During the event, you will help create a warm and welcoming experience for our guests by assisting with parking cars, greeting and directing guests, and shuttling guests around the property in golf carts.
Please wear all black attire and closed-toe shoes for the event.
Thank you for helping us make this a memorable experience for everyone!

Carni-fall
Carni-Fall is right around the corner, and we need your help to make it a huge success!
We have several days of shifts available, with opportunities to assist with event setup, parking, activities, guest assistance, and cleanup.
Whether you can help for one shift or several, every extra set of hands makes a difference. Join us in creating a fun, safe, and memorable Carni-Fall for our community. Sign up for a shift and help us make this year’s Carni-Fall the best one yet!
