Help Needed: Georgia State Parks
Panola Mountain State Park is the closest that welcomes volunteers.
Volunteering at a Georgia State Park, historic site or golf course means helping to keep great resources in good shape on a daily basis and for special events.
A state park not too far from South DeKalb is Panola Mountain State Park, which has a sign-up sheet for volunteers at its visitors center. Park phone number: (770) 389-7801.
For those who don’t mind more of a drive, other volunteer opportunities include:
