From assisting with visitor services to helping maintain the grounds of this special place... and everything in between, the work our volunteers do makes a difference!

Volunteering is an American tradition that has made immeasurable contributions to communities, organizations, and individuals throughout the country. Every year, thousands of individuals contribute their enthusiasm and skills to help the National Park Service preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources and to serve and educate visitors.

Volunteer and internship positions are available! Individuals, families, and organized groups are welcome to volunteer. Opportunities are available both for highly skilled professionals and for beginners with little or no experience in land management. The time commitment for volunteer work varies from one-day projects to continuous work extending over months. Drop-in events are also held throughout the year to celebrate special events or Days of Service such as National Public Lands Day in September.

Positions are available in a variety of areas including maintenance, transcription, museum services, administration, education, visitor services and more! Group and special projects, including potential Eagle Scout projects are also available.
