Volunteer at Sparks Lake Activity Center

The historic Emeline Carpenter School campus is being transformed into Sparks Lake Activity Center — a renewed home for community connection, recreation, events, and opportunity in Nacogdoches.

We invite volunteers, families, students, churches, local businesses, and community supporters to be part of the story.

Help at Events

Welcome guests, assist with setup, support check-in, help with parking flow, and make visitors feel at home.

Support Youth Programs

Help with basketball nights, open gym, future clinics, family activities, and community programs.

Cleanup & Projects

Assist with property cleanup, painting, outdoor setup, signage, landscaping, and buildout days.

Share Your Skills

Bring your talents — organizing, coaching, photography, decorating, repairs, planning, outreach, or hospitality.

Support The Soft Opening

Help prepare for upcoming events, July 4th activities, information tables, signs, games, and guest flow.

Be Part of the Legacy

Every volunteer hour helps preserve the past, support the present, and build the future of SLAC.
