The Friends of Colorado State Parks (FCSP) Board of Directors published a Strategic Plan in December 2021. This document outlines the Board’s Mission, Vision Statement, Core Values, and Future Goals. Some of the action items in future goals were to sponsor a Rendezvous, support and assist new and existing Friends groups in the State, along with occasional topics of shared interest with speakers, a newsletter, and information shared by social media. We have accomplished these and other items in the ongoing attempt to assist all Friends of State Parks groups to be successful in their efforts in Colorado.

As promised in the Strategic Plan, the FCSP Board has also now developed a Guidelines, Policies, and Procedures Handbook for existing and/or new Friends groups. The reference material included has been compiled after listening to common questions from Friends volunteers over the years, and hopefully can offer clarification on some of the issues. It serves as a living document that we hope can be revised as new ideas and issues arise for the assistance of all.

These are voluntary suggestions and clarifications only. If a group wishes to use and improve upon them, please let us know what needs to be revised by emailing us at:

If your Friends group has its own guidelines or does not need any of the clarifications or resources, then please see it as a reference only.
