Mission Statement for Grand Portage’s
Volunteers-In-Parks Program
The mission of the Volunteers in Parks (VIP) program at Grand Portage is to provide individuals with opportunities to commemorate, preserve, and communicate the stories associated with Grand Portage, both past and present.
The monument simply cannot achieve the level of service that we strive to provide our visitors without the incredible support of our volunteers. Working alongside our ranger staff, volunteers are an indispensable part of the monument’s interpretive operation. Volunteers are important team members of the park staff and are encouraged to participate in all training, meetings and special events.
You might be a great fit to volunteer at Grand Portage if you:
- Enjoy learning and sharing new skills with visitors.
- Have a positive attitude and can adapt to changes.
- Have an RV!
- Are interested in topics like the fur trade, Anishinaabe culture, historic clothing, gardening, cooking, woodwork, and more!
