Volunteers work in all areas of Boston National Historical Park and play a vital role in helping to preserve park resources and providing visitors with an excellent experience. In 2022, 79 Boston National Historical Park volunteers donated more than 9,500 hours of their time! Without volunteers, we simply could not accomplish all that we do.

Volunteers staff our visitor centers, give orientation, and welcome groups. Volunteers can assist at our many annual and commemorative events. They give programs or perform clerical and administrative duties. Other volunteers work in research, collections, and curatorial services. Volunteers who work as interns and service learners gain on-the-job experience while fulfilling educational requirements.

In partnership with the Friends of the U.S.S. Cassin Young (FOTCY) and the USS Cassin Young Association, volunteers perform ship maintenance and give special tours aboard the World War II destroyer, USS Cassin Young.
