The success of Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area's Volunteers-in-the-Parks program is a result of the hard work and dedication of the volunteers who choose to serve at the park. The park relies on the skills, talents, and abilities of many individuals to assist park staff in providing a quality visitor experience while preserving and protecting the natural and cultural resources of the park.

There are many ways in which volunteers donate service to the park. Volunteers are rewarded in turn by getting to know the park's resources in a deep and meaningful way, meeting people from all different walks of life, and assisting National Park Service employees in making every visitor's experience a positive and memorable one.
