Juveniles are defined as individuals under the age of 18. They may register and become volunteers if they provide written consent from a parent or guardian. The California Department of Parks and Recreation reserves the right to accept or deny any juvenile volunteer's application based on:
- Program/operation needs,
- The applicant's maturity and knowledge,
- The applicant's demonstrated interest in department programs, and
- The availability of adult supervision.
Juvenile volunteers must be assigned an adult supervisor. Arrangements for this supervision must be approved by the California Department of Parks and Recreation
