Sponsoring Program: Lake Corpus Christi State Park

CURRENT OPENINGS: October 2026-March 2027

Do you have a passion for birds? Do you love sharing your passion with diverse groups of people and providing a beautiful place for birds to live? Join Lake Corpus Christi State Park as a seasonal Birding Park Host!

This position is active from November 1st-March 31st. Volunteers in this position must stay a minimum of 3 months and have the option to stay the whole 5 months.

Volunteer responsibilities in this position could include (but are not limited to) the following:
-Distribute bird feed in the Birding Area Saturday-Tuesday mornings.
-Lead 1-2 bird walks for park visitors during the weekend.
-Report lists from bird walks to eBird.
-Pick up trash and other debris in the Birding Area.
-Maintain and care for the Bird Blind, bird stations, and gardens.
-Talk to visitors in the bird blind about birds and offer birding assistance and insight.

This is not an exhaustive list of possible responsibilities, and other birding ideas are welcome (such as other birding programs/walks, bird photography for the park, etc.).

While anything can be learned, volunteers best suited for this opportunity have knowledge of birds that frequent Texas and our area and have experience leading groups of people on bird tours/walks.

This position must complete at least 25 hours of volunteer service each week and will report to the Park Interpreter. Park Hosts stay in a campsite during their time at the park. Depending on availability, campsites are either water and electric or full hookup (water/electric/sewer). The minimum age for this position is 18 years old, and a criminal background check is required.
