Our nonprofit organization provides vital support for the Walkway State Park which is operated by New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. The group oversees fundraising and planning efforts to improve the park, and presents programming to educate and entertain the park's many visitors.

Volunteers are critical to our success. At the park they create a welcoming first impression, provide Information, encourage participation and leave a happy lasting impression. Behind the scenes they help with events, fundraising, office support and other support for the park. Together we maximize use and potential of the park, provide information and amenities and support our key partners to make the Walkway a wonderful place to visit for everyone. 

In our Walkway Ambassador Program we've defined two levels of volunteers and associated training.  

The first level is General Volunteer which requires attendance at one class led by Walkway and NY State Parks staff. The second level is Ambassadors, people who have identified their desire to commit to more time and responsibilities, who attend two more classes.

Volunteer opportunities include the weekend welcome and merchandise booth, assistance with events and in the office.  Ambassador opportunities include tour guides for formal tours, and for informal (walk-up) tours and off-site speaking engagements.
