The Coalition launched its annual volunteer project initiative in 2022 at Potato Creek State Park, following it up in 2023 at Ox Bow County Park and again in 2024 at Chain O’Lakes State Park. Over these past three years, a total of 1,100 volunteers have contributed more than 3,500 hours of service. The Coalition has left a lasting impact at these locations by constructing park facilities, repairing infrastructure, removing invasive species, and enhancing public spaces.

In recognition of its accomplishments, the RV Industry Association's Emerging Leaders Coalition was honored with the 2024 National Association of State Park Directors President’s Award. This prestigious award applauds the Coalition's outstanding volunteer initiatives supporting Indiana State Parks.

The 2022 project at Potato Creek State Park was also recognized with a Partnership Award awarded by Indiana State Parks in 2023. The award recognizes cooperative efforts between a property and a community organization that support projects and facilities to serve property guests.
