There are many volunteer opportunities at Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial from working at the front desk to assisting with one of the park's many special events. If you enjoy winter, consider volunteering at the park during the off-season October - March. Winters on South Bass Island are peaceful and absolutely beautiful. Park housing may be available especially during the winter months. For more specific information, please call Park Ranger Jeff Helmer at (419)285-2184.
