Park volunteers at work

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at a state park. We hope your participation as a volunteer will be an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

Our state parks offer a variety of volunteer positions—everything from working with park grounds and leading educational workshops to working as a receptionist and even hosting a campground. No matter how you volunteer, you will play an important role in the mission of the state park system by helping preserve and protect our natural resources while providing for their use and enjoyment by visitors. Click here for a listing of typical volunteer positions.

Citizen participation is more important than ever before in the history of the division. Without the help of concerned and dedicated volunteers, we cannot provide the standard of service the public has a right to expect. Click here to learn about the history of state park volunteers.
