NPS Photo Who We AreMount Rainier’s Volunteers In Parks (VIP) program provides meaningful service opportunities for hundreds of volunteers who commit thousands of hours every year to protecting our natural and cultural resources and providing a positive visitor experience. We seek to provide an avenue for people to connect with the park on a deeper level while developing skill sets, building community, and practicing stewardship through projects that support the park’s mission. Here at Mount Rainier our volunteers are a vital part to our operations and overall success.NOTE: In 2026, the Volunteer program is in a transition period with limited volunteer opportunities available. Unfortunately, Mount Rainier National Park is unable to accept new Meadow Rovers for the 2026 season or support special volunteer groups. Volunteer positions that are still available can be found listed on the Volunteer Opportunities webpage. Please check back in 2027 when more volunteer positions should be available. 
NPS Photo PartnershipsMount Rainier’s Volunteer Program would not be able to accomplish all that we do if it weren’t for our partners who contribute funding and supplies, lead projects, and recruit volunteers. They help further the park’s mission of promoting stewardship through education, advocacy, and the pursuit of their mission. We are grateful for their ongoing support and encourage you to learn more about our partner organizations.
