Our Mission
The mission of Friends is to serve, support, and celebrate Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites. Statewide, Friends works to raise awareness of the economic and intrinsic values of Georgia's greatest treasures. We work with state and community leaders to help make sure that our natural and cultural resources are well protected, well maintained and well preserved for generations to come.
Our Impact Across Georgia
At the local level, our more than 50 Friends chapters partner directly with parks and historic sites to support projects and programs that make a tangible difference. Statewide, our volunteers contributed around 75,000 volunteer hours last year. That equates to an in-kind value of over $2.25 million. In addition to hands-on work, our chapters raise critical funds that support improvements, conservation efforts, and educational programs helping keep Georgia's parks among the best in the nation.
