Volunteer Opportunities

An amazing array of rewarding opportunities is available through our Volunteer Program. We know that behind SLO County Parks' successes lay the efforts of our volunteers. County Parks currently logs over 50,000 volunteer hours per year. In fact, one of the keys to our success in serving the community is helping the community to serve themselves through volunteer activities. Volunteer participation is absolutely crucial to the strength of our organization and helps form the foundation of community representation in our work. This connection plays an integral role when striving to provide a high quality experience for all park visitors.
