JOB DESCRIPTION:
Park host volunteer opportunity with USACE for the Galt’s Ferry Day Use Area located on Allatoona Lake. Park features include a beach and swim area, picnic tables with grills, picnic shelter, horseshoe pit, playground, boat ramp, and fishing jetty.
USACE Allatoona Lake Park Host Volunteer Qualifications for Galt’s Ferry Day Use Area: available to work weekends and holidays with extended holiday hours, fulfill 20-25 volunteer hours per week, comfortable with public interaction and engagement, available to open/close park gates while on-duty and at the appropriate times as instructed, have a valid driver’s license and personal vehicle that is reliable. A campsite with electricity (50 amp), water, and sewage will be provided in exchange for a 20/25-hour work week.
Duties include visitor assistance and information services such as redeeming USACE Annual Pass purchases, and frequent patrols throughout the park to ensure the compliance of general park rules by the public. The work environment is both indoors (working gatehouse) and outdoors (frequent park inspections). This is one of our busiest parks, so the workload can be quite difficult but easily manageable.
