While park staff performs many of the daily tasks and duties it takes to operate, volunteers are vital to Alabama’s state parks. The Volunteer In Parks (VIP) program was created to allow individuals or groups to make a difference at their favorite park. VIP participants make a positive impact year-round in each of the state’s 21 parks. Support Groups organize and work in the park of their choice simply because they love the parks. It is our goal to have a support group for each park that will schedule special projects that make our parks more beautiful and provide instant gratification to the volunteers involved.
