NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
The number of volunteers in the National Park Service has increase by over 100,000 since 1990, with more than 370 NPS areas currently using VIP’s. The VIP’s at the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site have put in their share of volunteer hours (1554) by participating in numerous activities throughout the year. The volunteers gave demonstrations at the Boyhood Farm, worked the front desk at the Plains High School and assisted in various administrative duties for the park.
There are more than 390 national parks throughout the Unites States and its territories that need volunteers to work side-by-side with National Park Service employees and partners. Whether it is working behind the scenes or with park visitors, in parks from Maine to Hawaii, or Alaska to Florida, in big cities, small towns or wilderness areas, volunteers make a difference in helping people connect with their parks.
