The Malibu Creek Docents association is a nonprofit volunteer organization serving as the park’s cheerleaders, teachers, and tour guides, helping park visitors with information, staffing visitor center, conducting nature hikes, guided Welcome Walks, assisting with Campfire Programs, Junior Ranger Programs, and scheduled school hikes. The docents act as park ambassadors, helping visitors with advice and sharing their knowledge with park visitors.
Minimum commitment is 4 hours volunteer time per month. Active docents will receive Continuing Education Naturalist training sessions, and MCSP annual parking pass. Additional volunteer time qualifies docents for district and statewide annual parking passes. The training includes class room sessions, hands on training, and hikes at the MCSP with a focus to learn about the trails, plants and animals as well as the rich human history of the park. The training is offered twice a year in Spring and Fall on weekend days over 6-weeks.
