Koreshan State Historic Site

Thank you for considering becoming a volunteer at Koreshan State Historic Site. There several categories and types of volunteer positions. Please call us today for more information on working with the Florida Park System and the Department of Environmental Protection. If selected, you will receive training to acquaint you with the Park and your specific duties. Hours for most volunteer positions are flexible and vary depending upon the Parks needs and your availability. The amount of time volunteer is mutually agreed upon by you and your supervisor before you start and may be changed as circumstances dictate. Becoming a park guide or Docent: Docents are highly trained volunteers who interpret the cultural, natural and recreational features of state parks for visitors. If you have a passion for sharing and enjoy speaking to the public, a docent position may be a good fit for you. Campground hosts are volunteers who aid park staff in the maintenance and care of state park camping areas. They answer campers' questions, help with maintenance and are available for late-night emergencies. In return, campground hosts get a campsite at no charge and the satisfaction of performing an important and much-needed job. Campground Host positions are highly coveted, so keep the following in mind: If you are interested in becoming a campground host you should inquire as early as possible. Most Florida state parks book winter volunteers as far as a year in advance. Parks in north Floridaare more likely than south Florida parks to have campground host volunteerpositions available in the winter. Most parks, regardless of location, need campground hosts in the summer. In exchange for a campsite, a campground host must volunteer a minimum of 20 hours a week. Parks that do not offer camping as an activity will not have campground host positions available. Groups, student groups including civic clubs and organizations, are always welcome to volunteer in our state parks. Call today. Thanks
