VOLUNTEER WITH US
Throughout the year we have various touchpoint where we need a few extra hands to help with the adventure playground or with an event.
​
We also need help with a few "low hanging fruit" like stamping business cards, entering data in spreadsheets, organizing paperwork etc.
​
We also hope to be holding a few "barn raising" events where adults and kids will work together building base structures for play structures, garden boxes, "kid zone" barriers, signs, organizing bins and more.
​
If you feel you can offer your talents and time for any of these areas we would be ever so grateful for your help!

Variety Stores: Wal-Mart, Target, Cosco, Amazon, 99 Cents Only, Dollar Tree
MATERIAL DONATIONS
One of the many things we love about adventure play is the limitless possibilities our players gain from the variety of loose parts they get to play with. Another is its model of re-using, recycling, and reducing the waste stream in our community by offering an alternative to landfills for construction materials, home goods, industrial by-products etc to end up in. How cool is it to know your items are bringing joy to a person's life as a new loose part.
​
We often are able to pick up your items directly from you but we also invite you to bring them by Eureka Villa during open play 1-4 on Weds & Fridays. You can also reach out to us to arrange a drop-off or pick up time at 661.670.8663 or info@scvadventureplay.com

MAKE A BIG IMPACT ON PLAYWORK AND FREE PLAY
As with any of our initiatives, we strive to share the importance and necessity play is to our health and well-being. It's not only for children but for adults too. If you share this drive and passion consider sponsoring a workshop, panel, round table or event where we are able to bring play workers to share their wisdom and know how with the larger population. We hope to regularly bring play workers from established adventure playgrounds all over the world and a sponsor for their residency is an incredible step toward making this a reality.
If you feel your business or organization would be interested in working with us on this level please reach out to us at 661.670.8663 or info@scvadventureplay.com to start the discussion.
