Needs From: The Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center

Looking for a low-pressure, come-as-you-are way to make a real difference in the Coats community? Coats Municipal Park could use a little extra love, and Campbell students are invited to help keep our green spaces clean and welcoming for everyone.
This is a flexible, self-led volunteer opportunity with no set schedule, no sign-ups, no formal event. If you find yourself with a free hour between classes or want a quick way to give back, simply stop by the park at any time that works for you. Bring a friend or fly solo, take a walk, and help pick up litter along the pathways, fields, and play areas. Every small effort adds up, and your time directly supports a cleaner, safer space for families, pets, and visitors.
Gloves and trash bags are encouraged; filled bags can be placed next to any park trash can for staff to remove. Whether you swing by once or make it part of your weekly routine, your help strengthens the community in a big way.
Thank you for stepping up and showing what it means to care for your town one piece of litter at a time.

Help us keep our park looking its best! Volunteers will collect litter along trails, open fields, and common areas and if time allows, may also help tidy up concession and gathering areas to make the park even more welcoming for visitors.

Be part of the team that makes Main Street look its best! Students will help clean up and spruce up Downtown Coats, taking pride in their community while making a visible difference.

Students will help plant a small native plant bed in key areas of the park (such as the entrance and other high-visibility locations) to enhance beautification, support pollinators, and reduce long-term maintenance needs. They will also learn about how native plants benefit local wildlife and habitats.

Build it, place it, and watch them come! Volunteers will help install bluebird houses and feeders along the park trail, creating new homes for native birds and supporting local conservation.
