Volunteers help the National Park Service meet the national mission. They have made immeasurable contributions to virtually every division within Manzanar National Historic Site. Most volunteers are employed in full or part-time jobs. Many are retired. Some are students. Today's volunteers are active, dynamic, creative individuals of all ages who possess the skills, desire, patience and time to accomplish a wide variety of tasks and to become part of the NPS Community. Volunteers are, without a doubt, Very Important People! In 2003, more than 50 volunteers donated 2,150 hours of service for Manzanar National Historic Site.
