Position Details:
Stewards Individual Placements, a program of Conservation Legacy, provides individuals with service and career opportunities to strengthen communities and preserve our natural resources. The Community Volunteer Ambassador (CVA) Program combines the strength of a national leader in conservation service with the National Park Service to train a diverse group of emerging leaders to assist park units in building lasting connections to communities.
The Community Volunteer Ambassador will play a critical role in integrating the Preserve into the greater Naples community by leveraging current community partnerships and helping to forge new ones. They will assist the Volunteer Coordinator in their efforts to expand the volunteer community at Big Cypress National Preserve. This position will regularly work networking within the community, recruiting new volunteers, having discussions about creative service projects, and generally sharing information about the Preserve, especially with under-represented communities.
Through outreach efforts, the CVA will create awareness of the Preserve within the community as a place to learn and recreate. They will network with the broader community to recruit volunteers and invite visitors to the Preserve. The CVA will work closely with the Volunteer Program Manager (VPM) to host special volunteer events, provide administrative support, and assist the VPM in the planning and execution of the Annual Volunteer Recognition Event.
Site Description
Visitors from all over the world travel to Big Cypress National Preserve to see if they can catch a glimpse of an endangered Florida Panther, spot a flock of roseate spoonbills, and watch alligators in the wild. They walk along our boardwalks, viewing animals unlike anything they’ve seen before, and immerse themselves in the wonder of cypress domes. They come to canoe the water ways, hike in the back country, take an offroad vehicle ride, seek stunning vistas, and stop at the visitor centers to learn more about the swamp, pinelands, prairies, and cypress domes, history, and the many uses of the Preserve’s 729,000 acres.
Big Cypress National Preserve hosts a volunteer program of roughly 60 RV volunteers that join us for the busy season in the winter. We also host occasional single-day volunteer events that bring the public out into the preserve. Though the program is solid, there are many areas in which we can improve, such as regularly engaging locals, hosting single-day events on National Volunteer Days, and by kickstarting programs such as Big Cypress’ Artist in Residence program.
