Are you looking for a way to give back to the park while enriching your knowledge of Lovers Key’s wildlife, history, and recreational opportunities at the same time? Never fear! The perfect volunteering opportunity for you is here!

Join us at the award-winning Welcome and Discovery Center as one of our phenomenal docent volunteers! The Center serves as the educational hub of the park, and our docents bring its state-of-the-art exhibits to life with their passion, knowledge, and storytelling abilities. If you enjoy conversing with folks about the beauty and wonder of Lovers Key, then this opportunity is for you!

Benefits of Docenting:

Flexible days and short shifts! The Center is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM, giving you plenty of time to hit the beach, trails, or canals before or after your shift!

Meet new park friends! Our ideal shift is two or more docents per shift to ensure you’ll have lots of opportunities to meet other folks who enjoy Lovers Key just as much as you do!

Introduce others to Lovers Key! You’ll teach our guests about the wacky history and wonderful wildlife that resides in the park as well as the many exciting recreational opportunities available.

Expand your own knowledge! You’ll learn about hidden park gems, wildlife updates, park history, and so much more via our exhibits, docents, staff, and reading materials available at the Center.

Exclusive docent opportunities! You’ll gain access to volunteer-only opportunities including exclusive guided programs, turtle patrols, appreciation events, and more!
