1. Application received
are then reviewed by the Community Resources Coordinator and if appropriate scheduled for an interview.
2. Interviews
are done via telephone in most cases and are scheduled in advance. Someone will call you to schedule to insure we don’t catch at a bad time. Interviews average 30 min in length.
We strive to interview and match potential park host volunteers to positions 6 months in advance of start date. However, we continue interviewing and matching until all positions are filled. If you live in the area and want to volunteer with out becoming a park host, we encourage you to do so. We have many volunteer opportunities that do not require living with in our parks. Don’t hesitate to apply at anytime, as openings come up throughout the year unexpectedly. We will work to find the best match for our mission and your skills regardless of timing. If you’re not called for an interview or are not selected for a position right away please be patient; we get many applications and sometimes your skills aren't what are needed at the moment. All applications stay on file for 2 years. If you want to know the status of your application you may call the Lewisville Lake office and ask to speak with the Community Resources Coordinator at 469-645-9100.
3. If your skills match a need at one of our 7 regional lakes
your application and interview notes will be forwarded to the lake site coordinator for review and possible second interview. At that time they will either make a contingent position offer or inform the Community Resources Coordinator to place the candidate elsewhere.
Potential volunteers with Contingent offers of position are then
screened for criminal history
. All volunteers in a position of public trust must be screened. We are looking for any record of “crimes with a weapon, crimes against a person, or violent crimes” these are all disqualifiers for our program.
5. Join the team!
Once your background investigation is received and reviewed by the Community Resources Coordinator (2-5 days) all arrangements for your arrival and orientation will be confirmed.
