The Alliance for Florida’s National Parks is looking for enthusiastic FGCU students to join our team and help make our upcoming event a success! No prior experience is needed — just bring a positive attitude, a love for nature, and a willingness to learn and lend a hand.
Volunteers will help welcome guests, support event activities, and assist as wet walk guides (experience needed), helping participants safely explore and enjoy the beauty of Big Cypress National Preserve.
Roles include:
- Wet Walk Support (Sweeps & Guides): Walking alongside ranger-led groups, ensuring everyone stays together and assisting participants who may need extra guidance.
- Check-In & Guest Services: Greeting attendees, assisting with event technology (such as check-in tablets or digital tools), and helping answer basic questions.
Date & Time: February 28, 2026 from 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Shifts are divided into morning and afternoon, so students can choose a timeframe that works best. Every volunteer helps create a welcoming and seamless experience that connects our community to the parks.
There will be a virtual orientation session for the volunteers to attend. Date and Time is TBD.
If you're interested in this opportunity and would like to sign up, please contact Stephanie Rose Diaz at sdiaz@floridanationalparks.org.
