Volunteer Program
Join the crowd at Lake Williamson for FUN, FELLOWSHIP AND FRIENDSHIP! We need you on our team. Whether you can give us a few hours, days or weeks, we have a program for you.
Webster’s Definition of ‘Volunteer’: A person who freely offers to do something without being paid.
Our Definition: Great people who change lives for eternity!
All of the staff at Lake Williamson value the dedication and commitment shown by the many volunteers who pass through our doors each year. In our continuing effort to show our true appreciation for all you do, we have worked to develop a new program offering many opportunities to serve and a wide variety of job choices.
About the Program
We will ask each volunteer to complete a Volunteer Information Sheet, giving us information about past volunteer experience and what kind of volunteer projects you would like to be involved in. We have many new project choices and hope we can find the perfect spot for each of you!
Training sessions will be held throughout the summer season to update our volunteers on what is new at Lake Williamson. These sessions will give you information on area attractions, shopping, medical services, as well as detailed information about Lake Williamson for you to share with our groups and guests.
Lake Williamson volunteers will be issued red shirts designed especially for you. When you wear the red shirt, it lets our guests know you are at their service!
