Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Manassas National Battlefield Park! Your willingness to give your time as a volunteer is appreciated. Volunteers serve as a key partner in advancing our mission to encourage stewardship of public lands and to tell the stories associated with them.
As of December 2025, we are no longer accepting new volunteers for recurring opportunities as the park's program is at capacity. The only opportunity that may have availability is the Trail Ambassador Program.
Volunteer Opportunities
Recurring Opportunities (for those looking to volunteer on a routine basis):
1. Visitor Services Assistant: Assisting visitors to the battlefield, orienting to the park story and opportunities during their visit, assissting with inquiries on visitor ancestors, etc...
2. Blue and Gray Trail Crew: This group meets on Thursdays and does work to support our maintenance staff in the upkeep of trails and works with volunteers from the community.
4. Trail Ambassador Program: One of our newest volunteer initiatives is recruiting now for an anticipated start date in spring 2026. If you like to walk the the trails, this program is for you. Trail Ambassadors will help visitors on the trails in various ways, encourage compliance with park rules and regulations, and set an example of stewardship for visitors.
5. Weed Warriors: This is a new program as of 2025 where volunteers, under the direction of the park's Natural Resources staff, help remove invasive plants from the battlefield.
Event Opportunities:
If you are interested in doing community service projects in the park, we sometimes have projects available such as cleaning up litter, trail maintenance, or other resource management projects. These projects can be tailored to different age groups and are ideal for scouts.
