Five Rivers MetroPark is Dayton's park system. NDMV members work with volunteers to coordinate animal care for the Wildlife Ambassadors Program and support school programming, bringing the animals into the schools to discuss the park's mission and education on wildlife.
Adventure Central is a program within the MetroParks system that provides after-school care for students in grades K-12. NDMV members are responsible for supporting a youth group throughout their service year by providing opportunities for students to engage with the natural world through play.
