Volunteering
Volunteering can be a great way to break up a long trip, and it provides memorable oppor-
tunities to interact with locals and the land in ways you never would when just passing
through. Animal sanctuaries and small parks are always on the lookout for short-term vo-
lunteer help.
Florida's state parks would not function without volunteers. Each park coordinates its own
volunteers, and most also have the support of an all-volunteer 'friends' organization (offi-
cially called Citizen Support Organizations). Links and contact information are on the main
state park website
