VIP's contribute their time and energies to projects which assist the Commission with accomplishing its many goals. Volunteers develop lasting friendships while contributing to the betterment of Nebraska's state park system. The list of available projects at every state park, historical park, recreation area and recreation trail is virtually endless. The nature of the project depends on the needs of the individual park and the skills of each volunteer. VIPs may work as few or as many hours as they wish.
Many projects require as little as an hour per week.
Who May Volunteer Anyone may participate, including children under 16 with parental permission and supervision. Non-profit community service groups with large memberships are preferred, so volunteering does not become burdensome to a dedicated few. Political parties and elected officials may not volunteer, because erecting a sign with a political name on it could constitute a partisan endorsment and could be an illegal use of state funds. Qualifications Selection of VIP's depends on the needs of each park area and the skills of each applicant. Volunteers should be in good health and physically able to carry out their duties.
