Who We Are

Mount Rainier’s Volunteers In Parks (VIP) program provides meaningful service opportunities for hundreds of volunteers who commit thousands of hours every year to protecting our natural and cultural resources and providing a positive visitor experience. We seek to provide an avenue for people to connect with the park on a deeper level while developing skill sets, building community, and practicing stewardship through projects that support the park’s mission. Here at Mount Rainier our volunteers are a vital part to our operations and overall success.

Partnerships

Mount Rainier’s Volunteer Program would not be able to accomplish all that we do if it weren’t for our partners who contribute funding and supplies, lead projects, and recruit volunteers. They help further the park’s mission of promoting stewardship through education, advocacy, and the pursuit of their mission. We are grateful for their ongoing support and encourage you to learn more about our partner organizations.
