Volunteer: Newton Hills General Volunteer

Assist with a variety of projects as an organization or park scheduled volunteer event. Examples include painting, park clean-up, tree planting/removal, landscaping, building construction/maintenance, trail work, and much more. To request a group volunteer activity, contact your local park. Groups with volunteers under 18 are expected to have adult supervision.

Newton Hills State Park was named after William Newton who settled in the area in the 1850s. Newton's wife was a mid-wife; until the 1870s, she was the only European American north of Vermillion who could deliver babies and cure the sick.

Glaciers created this narrow strip of rolling hills and forest that is part of the geological formation called the Coteau des Prairie, which extends along the eastern boundary of South Dakota. At its highest point, the Coteau rises to more than 2,000 feet above sea level. Artifacts and burial mounds found near the park indicate that a Woodland Indian Culture inhabited this region between 300 B.C. and 900 A.D. The area's unique dark forest, amidst a vast open prairie, has prompted many recent legends, including buried gold, robbers' hideouts and horse thieves.

Over 200 species of birds visit the area each year. White-tailed deer, wild turkeys, marmots, rabbits, red and gray fox and squirrels are also found within the park. Between October 1 and April 30 each year, bow hunting is allowed in the park. Hunters will not be using the high traffic areas located near the hiking trails. Uncased bows and firearms are not allowed within the campground and picnic areas.

Welcome guests to Good Earth and help them make the most of their visit. Volunteers provide information, answer questions, and share knowledge about the park’s history, wildlife, and recreational opportunities.

Good Earth State Park southeast of Sioux Falls is an important cultural and historical site as well as a unique nature retreat adjacent to the most developed and populated part of our state. The site itself is one of the oldest sites of long-term human habitation in the United States. The river, abundant wildlife, fertile flood plains, availability of pipestone (catlinite), and protection from winds made the area an important gathering place for seasonal ceremonies and a significant trading center for many tribal peoples from 1300-1700 A.D.

Volunteer: SHIINE Beneficiary assistance

The Western region of the South Dakota SHIINE program is looking for assistance with our program.  Our primary focus is to help qualified seniors navigate Medicare--ranging from educating about potential fraud to understanding their individual plans.  Due to the rural nature of our state and technology barriers, this is a tremendous need, particularly during open enrollment (October 15th to December 7th each year).  We are looking for volunteers to help represent us at events (health fairs, county fairs, etc.), and in particular, for some who would be willing to train to help seniors with their Medicare needs.  We have no firm timetable, so training can happen at YOUR pace, and you can set your own volunteer schedule for as little or as much time as you wish to be involved.  You will be making a HUGE difference in the lives of a very overlooked and vulnerable population!

Volunteer: Thrift Store Merchandise Volunteer (Children’s Apparel)

Volunteers in this role will help prepare children’s clothing for the sales floor by hanging, tagging, pricing, and organizing items at the Club for Boys Thrift Store. Volunteers are expected to work independently after basic instruction. A minimum commitment of two hours per shift is required. This position is designed for individual volunteers rather than groups.

...............................................................................................................................................................

The thrift store plays a vital role in directly supporting the Club for Boys and its mission to provide a safe, caring, and fun after‑school environment for youth ages 6–17 in our community. Proceeds from the store help fund programs and services that keep annual membership affordable at just $12 per year, ensuring that cost is never a barrier for families who need support.

Revenue generated through the thrift store helps provide nutritious meals, age‑appropriate activity spaces, gyms, sports leagues, and an outdoor program that encourages connection, confidence, and healthy development. These resources allow the Club to offer a welcoming place where kids can learn, grow, and feel a sense of belonging during critical after‑school hours.

In addition to financial support, the thrift store strengthens community involvement by offering volunteer opportunities that directly contribute to youth services. Every donated item processed and sold helps create opportunities for young people to build skills, stay active, and thrive in a safe, supportive environment. The thrift store is more than a retail space — it is a key part of sustaining a life‑changing resource for kids in our community.
