Lovers Key State Park Volunteer Information
Volunteer Opportunities Volunteers play a vital role in the daily operations of Lovers Key Carl E. Johnson State Park. Volunteers help accomplish the park service mission of preserving and protecting the natural resources of Florida, while providing outstanding visitor services for all who visit this award-winning State Park. Whatever your time allows, you can make a difference at Lovers Key. Some volunteers spend many hours helping, others offer a few hours per week and a number only come out for special projects. Volunteers help us in almost all aspects of park operations. You can assist with duties including: driving the trams, taking park photos, monitoring sea turtles, removing non-native invasive plants, raising park funds, collecting tolls, giving out park information, monitoring water quality, maintaining the park grounds, performing minor repairs, assisting with projects, presenting guided walks, and assisting the staff in providing visitors with a fulfilling recreational experience in "The Real Florida". If you are a camper and are looking for a place to stay the park has six beautiful volunteer camping sites with full hook-ups. You must have a self-contained RV unit and volunteer 32 hours per site. There is a one month minimum stay at these sites and a four month maximum stay. We strive to match your skills and talents with a volunteer opportunity that best suits your interests. These volunteer sites offer a wonderful way to spend some time in paradise while providing a much-needed work force that enhances the operations of the park. We invite you to join our team of dedicated individuals volunteering to make Lovers Key Carl E. Johnson State Park the best it can be.
