→Definition of “Volunteers in Parks”
“Volunteers in Parks” are people who, in cooperation with the respective protected area, donate their time, skills and knowledge to support the conservation area in its activities..
Volunteers
– Decide for themselves how to get involved because they are interested in and enjoy a certain activity
– May work on an ongoing basis or on a specific project, for a limited time or indefinitely, by arrangement
– Act independently within the framework agreed upon with the respective protected area
– Are not paid for their work (reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses is not payment)
The role of “Volunteers in Parks”
– Volunteers provide a valuable link between management/organizations responsible for protected areas and society. Thanks to their backgrounds and personal interests, this gives rise to a lively interplay among administrative actions, societal interests, the population, other institutions and developments in the region.
– Volunteers make it possible for conservation areas to carry out additional or more extensive activities and projects by donating their time and expertise as additional unpaid workers.
– Volunteers are key advocates and multipliers for “their” conservation area and serve as role models in society.
– The “outside perspective” of volunteers provides management and organizations responsible for the National Natural Landscapes with helpful feedback on their actions and identity. Their unique understanding, insights and ideas enrich the ways that paid staff approach their work.
– Volunteers are not a stopgap measure. They complement the activities of paid staff but are no replacement for them. They may not be used to reduce costs or eliminate staff.
Volunteer management in the National Natural Landscapes
– Professional volunteer management enables the National Natural Landscapes to fulfill their responsibility to society and promote citizen involvement in their spheres of action.
– The National Natural Landscapes active in the volunteer program see professional volunteer management as an integral component of protected area management. It is one of their key areas of activity in the context of education for sustainable development.
– Professional volunteer management is an indispensable basis for working with volunteers and a prerequisite for reaping long-term benefits from the cooperation, both for the protected area and paid staff as well the volunteers and society at large.
– Only with the proper structures and programs in place can the protected areas provide individuals and groups of various ages, levels of qualification, skills and interests with attractive opportunities to personally contribute to the positive development of the National Natural Landscapes while uniquely experiencing the characteristics of the respective protected area as “participants”. Thanks to professional volunteer management, protected areas ensure meaningful volunteer assignments, the necessary support and information, opportunities for
9learning and personal development, and recognition for the achievements of volunteers.
– Collegial interaction between paid staff and volunteers forms the basis for successful volunteer management.
– As a permanent element of their conservation area management, the National Natural Landscapes continuously invest in volunteer management structures and processes, particularly in the form of human resources, materials and funding. This includes assisting volunteer coordinators by supporting them conceptually and practically in their responsibilities and helping them develop and expand their skills in volunteer management.
– Conservation areas active in the volunteer program see networking with other parks in the umbrella organization of EUROPARC Deutschland as an essential component of volunteer management that allows them to take advantage of synergistic effects, learn from the experience of other National Natural Landscapes and achieve greater public awareness.
