Being a VIP at Obed The VIP program provides an opportunity through which the National Park Service can accept and utilize voluntary help and services from the public. The objective of the program is to utilize this voluntary help in a way that is mutually beneficial to the National Park Service and the volunteer. Volunteering at the Obed Wild and Scenic River can be a unique experience. Volunteers can be any age, but youths under age 18 need a parent or guardian signature.
