If you are looking to volunteer, i.e., for free, check out Texas Parks and Wildlife web site and see what the state parks are looking for this winter.

In the Texas Parks Department, the "State Volunteer Coordinator" drew te black bean and got the title, along with several others: so your best bet is to put together a really good resume, fill out an application completely, and contact many different parks.

Start early. Don't be a worry wart, but don't be afraid to:

1. find out the name of the park volunteer coordinator, call them initially to see if they will ave any openings,

2. EMAIL them the packet,

3. If they say they don't have any openings, ask if it would be OK to go ahead and send them a packet anyway "just in Case" they come upwith something,

4. Contact them a week after you sent it just to make sure that they received it. Talk with them pleasantly thanking them profusely for their help.

5. Let it be known that you will be happy to do any duties (if you will) and if you won't, very kindly tell them that, ad give them a reason.



Know that at this point, your JOB is to get a job. Be very kind. Be very personable. Don't whine about anything.


Be aware that there are literally HUNDREDS of people out trying to get on in the prime spots. Perhaps you might consider starting to apply in the lesser desirable parks, although still in the area you are looking for, work hard, be kind, and then you will have a great reference for nest year.

Good luck!

If you have any specific questions, PM me. I have worked for TPWD and have volunteered at numerous parks.
