The volunteer program at Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park is one of the more successful programs in the state park system. "Our park is one of a kind. And after five years as the volunteer coordinator I can say that, it’s not my shiny personality that keeps over 300 volunteers working side by side with our full time staff. Volunteers contribute over 5,000 hours of donated service a month due to the beauty of a freshwater spring, the diversity of a wetland ecosystem and the education and protection of the native and endangered animal species we care for," says Marla.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, we have over 11 established volunteer position descriptions to choose from. So I’m sure that somewhere in our park family you will find something of interest to you. Visitor services, transportation, maintenance, children’s education and animal care are typically where the majority of our volunteers serve our park. If you are interested in finding out more about the volunteer program or internship opportunities, contact me at Marla Chancey."
