在弗吉尼亚州立公园担任营地接待员

概述

如果您喜欢与人交往并乐于分享露营的乐趣，弗吉尼亚州立公园将通过其志愿者接待计划为您提供参与其中的绝佳机会。主人协助我们的护林员为露营者和游客提供优质的客户服务。作为回报，主人可以在露营地住宿，并有机会担任各种职务。

• 营地主人——这些志愿者专注于公园的露营区，并在露营期间与露营者互动，充当公园的“亲善大使”。他们帮助露营者寻找和设置营地、提供有关露营设施的帮助，并回答有关公园规则和指南的问题。他们还提供服务，以确保露营地设施干净、有序，并为露营者做好准备。
• 公园管理员——这些志愿者的大部分工作是在公园的行政办公室进行的。他们经常在联络站和游客中心任职，协助开展教育项目，并经常在公园的后台办公室工作。他们经常向营地主人提供帮助。
• 零售主机——我们的许多公园都设有零售设施，例如营地商店、小吃店和独特的娱乐设施。这些区域开放期间需要志愿者来管理。零售商在公园里提供有价值的服务，这些公园的设施和活动需要购买并收取费用。

弗吉尼亚州44的 24 个州立公园参与了托管计划，其中一些仅使用一种托管类型，而其他公园则使用所有三种托管类型。我们的接待志愿者对于公园的顺利运营至关重要，我们重视他们的服务。这是您可以为自己和弗吉尼亚州的户外所做的最有意义的事情之一。

在露营季节，接待志愿者报名参加30天的任务（我们称之为机会） 。露营季节从三月第一个周末持续到十二月第一个周末（具体日期和志愿者接待需求可能因公园而异。）接待志愿者可以报名参加多个活动，但我们希望您体验多个公园，因此在给定的露营季节，任务通常限制在任何一个公园的60天。主人可以作为主人在弗吉尼亚州立公园度过整个露营季节，但如果他们这样做，他们必须准备好在多个公园享受服务。

在主人任职期间，露营地费用（包括场地租金、宠物费用等）免收，许多公园还为主人提供划船和游泳等活动使用费的特别折扣。

如何成为主持人

所有志愿者接待员均需通过申请流程获得批准，该流程从初步询问开始，通过填写申请表进行。针对申请，将通过弗吉尼亚州立公园营地主办方经理安排初步面试。初次采访提供了有关营地主办及其好处的更多详细信息，并允许那些感兴趣的人提出问题。接待员不为特定公园或日期雇用，但被批准在任何弗吉尼亚州立公园提供服务。

请记住，审批过程只是一个过程。除了初次面试外，该流程还包括背景和参考检查。从提交申请之日起，该过程通常需要3 - 5周，因此有兴趣担任此类志愿者的人应该将其纳入计划中。不提供工资或津贴，主人必须提供自己的房车或露营设备。

Selection criteria include experience in camping, prior campground or park host service, working with the public, and how well skills match park needs. Approval as a Volunteer Host allows you to serve in that capacity in any park in the Virginia State Park system. While we do our best to honor requests, hosting opportunities for specific parks at specific times are not and cannot be guaranteed, especially from year to year.

Hosts may serve in multiple parks during a calendar year, but serving hosts are asked to limit their stay in a specific park to no more than two calendar months (60 days) in that park.
