If you like the Chamizal, music, and people, then VIP Under the Stars is for you! Sign up to join our new Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP) Under the Stars program. We are looking for community members who enjoy the Music Under the Stars concerts and would like to get more involved with their community.

When:

Mid-June to mid-August

Benefits:

The perks of being a VIP Under the Stars include learning about the Chamizal story, gaining the basics of being a park ranger; meeting great folks from around the community; giving back to your national park; AND VIP parking will be available for VIPs on the Sundays they volunteer Plus, if you volunteer for 10 or more hours, you will be invited to our annual VIP bash.

Requirements:

VIP Under the Stars commit to attending a three-hour training that will cover topics from communication/public speaking skills to the key historic events that lead to the creation of and eventually the resolution of the Chamizal dispute. We've scheduled the training for Wednesday, June 10 from 6:30-8:30 pm or Saturday, June 13 from 2:00-4:00 pm. You only have to attend one of the two trainings.
