During fiscal year 06-07 we hope to fully transition to a new database and volunteer tracking system. This web-based product, managed by Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, will allow volunteers to seek out and register for volunteer opportunities within our state parks and other areas around the state. This volunteer database will allow Volunteer Program staff to closely track the number of volunteers and total volunteer hours contributed within the state parks, and to report more accurately on their accomplishments.
