Drive environmental stewardship initiatives by organizing volunteer-led restoration, maintenance, conservation, and special improvement projects throughout the county park system.
Develop and implement programs and initiatives that support the maintenance, enhancement, and sustainability of park trails, while advancing park operations, improving visitor experiences, and promoting responsible use of natural resources and open spaces.
Build and strengthen collaborative partnerships with schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses, service clubs, and community organizations to expand volunteer participation and community engagement.
Represent Kitsap County Parks at volunteer fairs, community events, public meetings, educational presentations, and outreach activities while serving as a key liaison between the department and the public.
Promote volunteer opportunities through strategic outreach, marketing, communications, and public engagement efforts that increase community participation and awareness.
Administer volunteer program operations by maintaining volunteer records, agreements, training documentation, background checks, service hour tracking, and program compliance requirements.
Monitor and evaluate volunteer participation, program outcomes, and performance metrics while preparing reports, correspondence, and operational documentation to support continuous program improvement.
Support budget tracking, grant-related activities, volunteer recognition programs, and other administrative initiatives that strengthen the long-term success of the Parks Volunteer Program.
