Volunteering with the National Park Service

Did you know that in 2023 over 123,000 volunteers donated 3.7 million hours of service to the National Park Service? Volunteers like you are vital to the success of our work. Volunteers provide immeasurable contribution to park programs, communities, organizations, and individuals throughout the country. Thank you for your service!

Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park posts opportunities to volunteer according to park needs. Be sure to check back frequently.

In 2024 volunteers assisted with:

• Remotely transcribing historical documents
• Leading star parties and providing public use telescopes
• Visitor services
• Administrative record keeping

Contact our volunteer coordinator if you are interested in volunteering or have any questions.

Community Volunteer Ambassador

We are currently recruiting for a Community Volunteer Ambassador internship to help enhance the park's volunteer program! Stewards Individual Placements, a program of Conservation Legacy, provides individuals with service and career opportunities to strengthen communities and preserve our resources. The Community Volunteer Ambassador (CVA) Program combines the strength of a national leader in conservation service with the National Park Service to train a diverse group of emerging leaders to assist park units in building lasting connections to communities.

Recuitment has closed, but Conservation Legacy has multiple opportunities across the National Park Service system.
