Get Involved
Join the Team
Downtown doesn't run itself — it runs on individuals who show up. No matter how you can contribute, there's a place for you here.
Why We Need You
Downtown Runs on Neighbors
RDP is ran by a volunteer working board. Everything that we support downtown happens because volunteers make it happen. The more hands we have, the more we can do.
However much time you've got to offer, we can put it to use.
