Mission: California State Parks Foundation protects and preserves the California state park system, for the benefit of all — through advocacy, fundraising, and community engagement.
California's state parks thrive because people show up for them — and that starts with volunteers like you.
California State Parks Foundation coordinates volunteer workdays across the state year-round, bringing together communities to restore habitat, maintain trails, remove invasive species, and strengthen the resilience of California's 280 state parks. These workdays are open to everyone, require no prior experience, and make a lasting, meaningful impact on the parks we all love.
As a Volunteer Core Leader, you play a powerful role in growing this movement. Sharing your experience and passion on social media helps recruit new volunteers, builds community around our parks, and shows the world what hands-on conservation looks like in action.
Use this social media toolkit to spread the word, inspire your network, and help us find the next generation of park champions. Together, we can keep California's state parks thriving — for today and for generations to come.
