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:
• Greet visitors and provide information about the park and the National Park Service in the park visitor center.

The benefits of volunteering at Richmond National Battlefield Park are unlimited!

Volunteers will:
