Another way to become active in supporting Hopewell Furnace is by becoming a park volunteer. Volunteers from across the United States and even other countries supplement our park staff in almost every department. Volunteering at Hopewell Furnace offers a great opportunity to learn through on-the-job experience about the daily operations of a national park and the skills required for visitor center operations, historical interpretation cultural resource preservation and management, and maintenance activites. For college level students, internships can be arranged through your center of learning for accredited volunteer work. 

In addition to the intengeible rewards of volunteering, housing and some reimbursement for meals or transportation may be available, depending on the volunteer's need and the availability of funds. For volunteer hosts, the use of our trailer pad is a possibility.

Additional information and an application for becoming a volunteer at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site can be obtained on line, by calling the park, or in person at the Hopewell Furnace Visitor Center during regular business hours.
