Every volunteer has a story to share. During Volunteer Appreciation Week, we invite you to share what inspires you to give your time and energy to California’s state parks.  

Whether it’s connecting with nature, giving back, meeting new people, or making a difference, we’d love to hear your reason for volunteering.  

Your response may be featured on social media during Volunteer Appreciation Week, helping us celebrate the many reasons volunteers choose to care for California's state parks. You'll also have the option to enter a raffle for a chance to win a Camp Snap Screen-Free Digital Camera from REI!

Take a moment to complete our short survey and tell us: Why do you volunteer?
