A Call for Volunteers

Raritan Recreation is looking for people interested in getting involved in recreation related events throughout the year.

The Recreation Department is responsible for implementing the following events in Raritan: The Easter Egg Hunt, Opening Day for Baseball and Softball, End Of Year Picnic, The Halloween Parade, and Santa is Coming to Raritan Parade.

Volunteers are put on a call list and are contacted one month prior to the event to see if they will be available.

Volunteering in Raritan offers you an opportunity to meet new people and help our town grow socially. If you are interested in getting on our volunteer list, if you are interested and want to help your community, please call Raritan Recreation at 908.725.9411 after 7pm.

Thank You!
