Volunteers make a difference.

Volunteers hold up the foundation of civil society.  They help their neighbors, serve their communities, provide their expertise and contribute in invaluable ways.

Please Join us as Friends of Boothe.

  • Have fun while accomplishing something that really matters.
  • Learn about Stratford’s History and be an active participant in shaping its future.
  • Spend more time with nature and enjoy this magnificent Park.

If you are interested in volunteering, even if it’s only for a few hours a month, let us know who you are. One of our volunteers will be in touch.
