Volunteer Recreation Councils
All interested individuals are welcome and encouraged to attend recreation council meetings. It is recommended that local organizations send representatives to these meetings so that council members may learn about your activities. Individuals requiring an interpreter should contact the Department of Citizen Services at 410-386-3600 or by email to ada@carrollcountymd.gov as soon as possible however by five workdays before a scheduled meeting.
Recreation councils are volunteer organizations. Please call to confirm meetings.
