Current Opportunities: Find Your InterestVisitor Use Assistant:We’re looking for volunteers to serve as front-line representatives of the National Park Service and the monument. Visitor use assistants work at security checkpoints, throughout the monument grounds, and in parking areas, connecting with visitors. In many cases, these volunteers are the first contact the public has with a monument representative. Volunteers must communicate effectively and provide excellent customer service. Volunteers may ride bicycles to and from various parking areas, disseminating information and maintaining a visible presence to help deter vehicle break-ins. Volunteers must have or be willing to gain the ability to ride a bicycle (training provided), stand, and walk for long periods. Physical conditioning is important for these extended activities. Park Guide Assistant:Volunteers are needed to work at the National Park Service Tickets and Information Desk, handing out program tickets and answering visitor questions. They may also assist Park Rangers at the theater, mingling with visitors and helping them prepare for their programs. Volunteers can assist Park Rangers on the USS Arizona Memorial, answering questions and guiding visitors. Docent:Volunteers are needed in the exhibit galleries and throughout the visitor center, providing interpretive services to visitors. Docents should have a solid understanding of the site’s history and events so that their interactions represent the National Park Service’s message and mission at VALR. Maintenance and Groundskeeping:We need volunteers to assist National Park Service maintenance crews in maintaining the facilities and grounds at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Adopt-a-Memorial Groups:The "Adopt-a-Memorial" program allows groups to care for a specific memorial (USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma, or USS Utah) by cleaning the surrounding area and ensuring it remains in great condition. Projects may vary. Volunteer ApplicationsA volunteer application is required for all positions. Some positions require a time commitment, training, and a background check.
