Lincoln Park Conservancy is an independent
not-for-profit organization that works to recognize, preserve and develop the
natural, historical and cultural assets of Lincoln Park through restoration,
advocacy, and stewardship in order to benefit the park and the public while at
the same time presenting opportunities for education and community involvement.
While there are many park districts around the nation,
Lincoln Park Conservancy strives to bring nature into Chicago and
provide its residents with bountiful volunteer opportunities. Whether you want
to get involved with the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, Lincoln Park Conservatory
and Gardens, or the North Pond Nature Sanctuary, there are endless opportunities for
everyone. Depending on experience, they offer paid and unpaid summer internships
where Lincoln Park High School students can be immersed in nature and help care for their city.
