Teen WILD
Build your college resume, complete your volunteer hours, and make new friends while helping the Parks Foundation bring outdoor fun & learning to the community! Teen WILD (Wilderness Inspired Leadership & Development), a year-long volunteer team, enables teens to complete 20+ community service hours at monthly scheduled events, develop leadership and mentoring skills, and have fun outside.
Applications open in the spring of each year and open to youth entering grades 9 through 12 in the fall. Participants are expected to complete at least three volunteer shifts during their year-long term.
More than 100 teens have donated over 1,300 hours of volunteer service through this exciting youth volunteer program.
“This program is made possible with special grant funding from Redwood Credit Union.”

Story Walk
Read & Move in the Great Outdoors!
Exercise your body and your mind at the same time. Grab your family and take a walk around the perimeter of Shenandoah Park for an interactive literary experience. Its easy to follow along, get started by locating display one and continue in numerical order until you finish the story. Each display has two book pages and a fun movement activity for you to try. A different book is featured quarterly. The American Canyon Click StoryWalk® installation is at Shenandoah Park located at 100 Sonoma Creek Way, American Canyon.
Community Conservation
Wetlands Conservation
In 2025, the Parks Foundation, Teen WILD, and the community have removed over 600 lbs of trash from the American Canyon Wetlands. Teen WILD volunteers gave away over 50 Stow-It Don’t Throw-It fishing line containers to help fishermen keep broken fishing line out of the Napa River and local wetlands.
To kick off Earth Month, the Parks Foundation and Teen WILD invited the community to our first-ever Invasive Ice Plant removal day. Join our newsletter for future conservation days.
Wine & Wild

Each quarterly event will have an expert guest speaker on various nature-related topics. Past speakers have discussed the humble opossum, magical owls, and coexisting with coyotes.
