Adopt-a-Trail - Do you have a trail you use that you would like to help maintain? Do you have a group that is looking for some good, physical service work in a beautiful outdoor setting? If so, we’d like you to adopt–a-trail. Adopt-a-Trail volunteers, after completing Department training, will take care of a trail, or section of trail, within a County Park. Adopt-a-Trail volunteers conduct trail brushing/pruning, litter/debris removal, routine trail tread/drainage clearing, and major trail problem reporting. Participants who agree to participate for one-year will receive in-park signage acknowledging their commitment. 

Camp Hosts - County Parks has an on-going need for Camp Host volunteers. Hosts receive a full-utility campsite in exchange for 20-hours per week of volunteer service. Duties may include site security, camp/restroom maintenance, and assisting park staff with educational programs. Currently, all park host sites are occupied, but applications are being taken for future openings. Per State law, fingerprinting for this position may be required.

Docents -  Docents are needed an on-going basis to assist park staff in conducting educational programs and staffing visitor facilities, especially during the weekday school programs during the spring and fall seasons. Candidates must be comfortable working with children and groups. Fingerprinting for this position, per State law, may be required.  All volunteers receive training, a uniform and a nametag.  Docents are needed at the following locations: Chitactac-Adams, New Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum, Santa Teresa Historic Area, Stevens Creek Visitor Center, & Sanborn Visitor Center.
