Park Host Volunteer

Background checks are required by USACE for volunteers. A campsite with electricity (50 amp), water, and sewage will be provided in exchange for a 20/25-hour work week.

USACE Allatoona Lake Park Host Volunteer Qualifications for Tanyard Creek Boat Ramp: 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.

The work environment is both indoors (working gatehouse) and outdoors (frequent park inspections). This is one of our busiest boat ramps, so the workload can be quite difficult but easily manageable. Must be comfortable with working with others, including USACE staff and the general public.

Surrounded by Allatoona Lake wildlife (plants, trees, insects, animals). Also prone to dangerous weather hazards (thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, extreme cold/heat, etc.). Interactions with the public can also be hazardous under certain circumstances.
