Friends of State Parks Groups
Friends groups consist of dedicated volunteers who are devoted to supporting their local state park. Friends Groups do things like organize educational programs and events in their park, coordinate park-specific volunteer activities, fundraise, operate park stores, and the like.
We proudly support Friends Groups around the state by offering technological support, serving as a fiscal agent, providing a standing committee to offer advice on staring or running a Friends group, and sponsoring a yearly meeting of Friends groups statewide.
Get involved. Use the links provided here to find your local State Parks Friends Group. Don’t see one? Then use the resources here to start your own. And feel free to contact us for help; we can connect you with people experienced in such organizational matters as articles of incorporation, by-laws, federal tax exemption, state nonprofit registration, business licenses, sales tax, fundraising, park store operation and many other issues.
