Service groups include: youth groups, Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts, colleges, universities, professional, non-profit, business, and special interest groups. Some of the potential projects include mulching trails, painting, restoring historic battlefields, picking up litter, and weeding gardens.
Alternative Spring Break Trips
Each year the park receives requests from various colleges for some of their students to spend their spring breaks at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. These alternative spring break programs are gaining momentum across the country. Harpers Ferry NHP has hosted students from Boston University, Canisius College, and Northeastern University. If interested in participating, please contact the park Volunteer Program Coordinator (contact information below).
