National Park Service

Volunteers engaged in colonial dancing.

The Volunteers In Parks (VIP) program of the National Park Service is an integral part of daily operations in the more than 390 parks in the National Park System.

Becoming a volunteer is one of the most rewarding and tangible ways to support the National Park Service. As a volunteer you have the opportunity to share skills and ideas and learn new ones. Volunteers also gain the intangible benefit of knowing they are making a real contribution to the preservation and protection of the unique resources at George Washington Birthplace National Monument.

Volunteers are a valuable addition to the staff of George Washington Birthplace National Monument and perform needed services in historical interpretation, guided tours, education groups and special events.
