Volunteer

Girl Scouts have performed many volunteer roles at Lindenwald including resource management.  Here a group of Scouts pose in front of the Van Ness monument after removing brush which was obscuring the monument from view.

National Park Service

The Volunteers In Parks (VIP) program of the National Park Service is an integral part of daily operations in the 423 plus parks in the National Park System.

Volunteers are a valuable addition to the staff at Martin Van Buren National Historic Site, and there are many ways you can help Martin Van Buren and support its historical culture and beauty. From preserving our natural resources to educating visitors of its historical significance, the park provides opportunities to share your expertise, meet new people, and enjoy outdoor fun.
Volunteer opportunities are endless, and your time will be well spent and rewarding.

So, join the Park Volunteer Team and be part of our volunteer program and help preserve these precious historical resources for future generations! Learn new skills, teach others and stay active and involved.Volunteers of all ages give of their time and expertise to help and each volunteer's contribution makes a big difference! Volunteers come from all over the world to help preserve and protect America's natural and cultural heritage for the enjoyment of this and future generations. Although the park can never repay its volunteers for their valuable contributions, we do our best to make your time happy and fulfilling. While some of the jobs are continuous, others finish and then it's on to something else, for as long as you wish to stay.

If you have an interest in American history, historic preservation, museum operations, woodwork, public relations, painting or historical interpretation please e-mail the site's volunteer coordinator at e-mail us to learn more about volunteer opportunities at Lindenwald.
