Many Hands Make Light Work
As soon as you turn into the Walnut Knolls, you know you've discovered something special. Its character and culture are a gift passed down by generations of residents who have volunteered their time to maintain and nurture our unique neighborhood.
As a community-managed and maintained village, we rely on our residents to support the efforts necessary to upkeep our infrastructure, host events, and ensure our safety.
Members who volunteer at least 4 hours to WKA volunteer initiatives in a calendar year are eligible for a Volunteer Rebate on their membership fees.
Ways to Help
Clean-up Party
WKA hosts Clean-up Parties at the beginning and end of the summer season. Volunteers complete annual maintenance tasks to prepare the WKA Recreation Area ahead of our season opening party and to winterize it at the end of the season so that members can safely enjoy the facilities. The dates and times for these events are shared via email.
Trash Bin Pickup & Retrieval
Trash, recycling, and compost bins for the WKA Recreation Area must be placed and retrieved from the street each week. Completing this duty for a calendar month satisfies a household's volunteer obligation. Additional details are shared on the sign-up page.
Special Projects
As WKA approves projects to maintain and improve our community, we need volunteers to execute the work. The WKA board will review these opportunities in general meetings and post the opportunities on this page (see below)
Event Hosts
Events require volunteers to set up, facilitate, and tear down. Donate your time to help make these special events possible. Opportunities are posted below.
Neighborhood Watch
To help coordinate the safety & security of our neighborhood, each street has a volunteer captain to organize residents and to relay communications between the captains and the WKA board.
