The TCPO has many volunteer opportunities, 
including Cook Park or Todd Island Park maintenance projects, fundraising and concert set up and clean up. We also welcome help with the Todd Liberty Parade and are always looking for folks to help with setup, breakdown, costume repair, costume creation and more. If you would like to volunteer with the TCPO, please send us an email through the Contact Us form on the contact page or talk to any of our board members. We’d love to hear from you!
The Todd Liberty Parade takes place every 4th of July and relies on many 
volunteers to plan, design and make the Liberty Parade happen. This amazing parade draws residents and visitors alike – at least half of whom walk in the parade wearing costumes and hats and carrying banners and instruments, most of which were made by Elkland Art Center. Many months go into preparing the many costumes and details surrounding one of Todd’s favorite events. The more hands, the better. Join the effort by contacting us.
St. Matthew’s Chapel, located on highway 194 in Todd, had not been in use for many years. The church is an important part of community’s heritage and there is widespread interest in restoring and preserving it for the community. The Friends of St. Matthew’s are spearheading efforts to clean up and restore the church. Although significant work has begun, there is more to be done. Learn how you can help at Friends of St. Matthew’s.
