Volunteers-In-Parks (VIPs)
To accomplish its important duties of preservation and education, the National Park Service relies on the efforts of volunteers who give their time and expertise to help achieve the National Park Service mission.

Volunteers play a key role at Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site and are active in many areas of park operations.

Volunteers:
• Greet visitors and provide information about the park and the National Park Service in the park visitor center.
• Staff special events.
• Conduct research and assist with administrative tasks.

The benefits of volunteering at Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site are unlimited!

Volunteers will:
