Volunteer Opportunities

For Students

Hundreds of students currently volunteer with the Resource Management Division. Some volunteer for only a short period of time to fulfill a service requirement and others volunteer on a regular basis in positions such as Animal Caretaker or Program Assistant.

For more information on volunteer opportunities for students, contact the Volunteer Coordinator at the park where you would like to volunteer to see if there are opportunities available that match your interests and availability.
