​CSPF’s Park Champions Program holds volunteer work days in state parks across California. This program was created in response to the unprecedented budget cuts that California State Parks face right now. In partnership with California State Parks, Park Champions provide consistent, sustainable volunteer support in the areas of park maintenance and beautification.
Park Champions projects improve the quality, safety and preservation of our state parks. Projects in the past year have included trail repair, invasive plant removal, habitat restoration, the rehabilitation of an historic orchard, fence construction, bridge construction, and re-painting park structures. If you enjoy volunteering outdoors, want to work with a fun group of people, and you want to make a difference in our state parks, then become a Park Champion and join us for the next work day happening near you!

​It takes thousands of volunteer hours to get a float ready for the parade – and YOU can help!  Long before Christmas, volunteers begin preparing the materials – dried grasses, grains, and flower petals.  After Christmas, volunteers begin carefully placing those items on the floats.  In the days just before New Year, still more volunteers add the fresh flowers.  It truly is a HUGE team effort!
How can you help?  Visit the Fiesta Floats website linked below to learn more and to sign up for a volunteer shift.

• Dry Decoration Days (Before Christmas) – Volunteers must be at least Ten (10) years of age at the time of volunteering.
