Fun N Sun has a fulltime activity office that sponsors a number of events, organizes tours, and supports the numerous activities in the park. However, it is the hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers that make things work. People volunteer their time and expertise to teach classes, lead activities, and supplement the work of paid employees for effective operation of the park. Volunteers work in the Activity Office, manage the wood shop and library, help with the food events, handle duties at the Rec Hall and Dance Hall and handle front gate duties. They teach arts and crafts, dance, and card games. They conduct exercise classes and run a computer lab that provides lessons, individualized help and presentations. Opportunities abound for anyone who wants to become a volunteer.
There are also opportunities to volunteer in the community. Park residents volunteer at several large hospitals, churches, nursing homes and daycare centers, a nearby childrens� home, and at the world famous Gladys Porter zoo. Local schools have a mentoring program for first and second graders who are having problems learning to read. The program, called HOSTs (helping one student to succeed) is popular with park residents who enjoy spending time with children. Park residents assist with local parades, the Jalapeno 500 bike ride, birding festivals and national wildlife centers. Whatever your interest, there is a need for your time |
