The Illinois Association of Park Districts (IAPD) and the Illinois Park and Recreation Association (IPRA) Soaring to New Heights Conference is a dynamic weekend packed with learning opportunities, networking and hands-on experiences. One of the key reasons this event is so successful is thanks to the support of our dedicated student volunteers.
We are looking for enthusiastic students to help in various operational roles throughout conference – including the All-Conference Awards Luncheon, Exhibit Hall Dessert Reception, conference sessions, and more!
Here’s the best part!
If you are a full-time student in a parks and recreation program, a current Illinois Park & Recreation Association (IPRA) member, and a registered conference attendee, you can receive a full registration refund by completing as little as four volunteer hours during the conference. It’s a win-win!
Take advantage of this opportunity to learn, connect, and enjoy a fun and engaging weekend – for FREE!
For more information, please contact Heather Rabitt, 2026 IPRA Operations Chair, at heatherr@vhparkdistrict.org.
