Volunteers Needed for Metroparks Photo & Video Shoot

Over the next few weeks, the Metroparks will be hosting multiple photoshoots to capture photos and videos for our content gallery and marketing efforts. Photoshoots will focus on a number of summer-fun activities like swimming, biking and kayaking, and will vary based on location. By volunteering, you will appear across our social platforms, website, flyers, and other marketing materials.

Each location will have multiple activities/areas in which video and photos will be taken, which means there is more than one opportunity to volunteer on each shoot day. Below you will find a list of schedules for each location and a sign-up form for each. You can choose to sign up for one or multiple slots. We use our content gallery for social media and advertising, and we make sure to show a mix of ages, ethnicities, genders and activities to best represent our region as a whole, which is why we are looking for many different demographics for our shoots. Parents with young families, seniors, child-free adults, or Gen-Z, all are welcome!

If you sign up and are chosen for a photoshoot, you will receive a confirmation email in no more than 1 business day with your instructions. Anyone who volunteers will be required to complete an image release (or have their parents with them to complete it if they are a minor under the age of 18). As a thank you for volunteering, you will receive free park entry for the entire day of your shoot, a digital download of all the photos taken and a small thank-you gift.

If you have any questions, please contact the Metroparks Marketing Department at marketing@metroparks.com or call 810-299-1516.
