At the Statue of Liberty National Monument, we have a number of volunteer opportunities on both Liberty Island and Ellis Island, including:
-Providing visitor services such as giving directions, answering visitors' questions, and presenting programs (Liberty and Ellis Islands)
-Transcribing and translating sound recordings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Ellis Island)
You may also be able to volunteer in the Research Library at Ellis Island, assist with historical preservation, or work with our maintenance staff.
For more information about these volunteer opportunities and contact information, go to www.volunteer.gov/gov and use "Statue of Liberty National Monument" as the key word.
Don't live in the New York/New Jersey area? That's okay- there are volunteer opportunities throughout the National Park Service. Her's how you can learn more about the VIP (Volunteers-In_Parks) program.
