Volunteer Stories

Volunteers-In-Parks is a National Park Service program that allows individuals to play an active role in helping protect and share these national treasures. Volunteering with the National Park Service allows parks to accomplish more than they could normally and provides volunteers with unique opportunities to contribute. It also allows individuals to apply their talents and skills or learn new ones in a way that is both beneficial to the volunteer and to the benefiting park.
