JOIN THE YOUNG FRIENDS OF SHELBY

Young Friends of Shelby (YFS) is a new group for park lovers aged 25-39 who want to connect, give back, and have a little fun along the way. Whether you're up for a volunteer day, a group hike, or just grabbing a drink after work, YFS is a chance to meet new people and support the place we all love—Shelby Park & Bottoms. 

What to expect:

  • Quarterly social meetups like happy hours, hikes, and casual get-togethers

  • Volunteer outings to help keep Shelby Park at its best

  • Behind-the-scenes tours and special events

  • A low-key, fun way to give back and grow your local network

What we ask:

To join in on the fun, we ask that YFS participants consider becoming a member of Friends of Shelby. Your contributions will support our efforts to make Shelby Park & Bottoms the friendliest, best loved, and most accessible park in town! 

We’re just getting started—and we’d love for you to be part of it!

Let’s keep in touch!

July 12: YFS Volunteer Day + Happy Hour

Help us paint a Picnic Shelter at Shelby Park during our very first YFS volunteer day! We’ll get our hands a little dirty in the park, then head to a nearby spot for a casual happy hour. Space is limited for the volunteer portion—register here if you’d like to join!
