Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park (NHP). The park has a growing Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP) program. With 24 full and part-time volunteers including Boy/Girl scouts troops, interns, and local and out of state groups helping with special project the park accumulated 3,600 hours in fiscal year 2008.  The park would not function without the efforts of our volunteers.  Our volunteers are from different backgrounds, careers, and ages, but all want to assist the National Park Service in preserving the cultural, educational and natural resources of Appomattox Court House NHP for today’s visitors and for future generations.  

Volunteer and internship positions are available in every division. Group and special projects, including potential Eagle Scout projects are also available. With your help we can make Appomattox Court House NHP better than ever. For a better understanding about the entire National Park Service and its volunteer and internship programs please visit http://www.nps.gov/volunteer/.

Again thank you for your interest and hope to hear from you soon.
