Individuals

Become a part of our team! Position-based volunteer opportunities for individuals vary and can involve working behind the scenes or on the front line in positions ranging from visitor services to natural resource management. Some positions are specialized and require particular talents, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as a background check. Other positions only require a desire and willingness to volunteer.

Groups

Your group--whether it's a scout troop, a family, a class, or a group of coworkers--can come to volunteer together! Work projects vary depending upon the time of year, park needs, age of the participants, special skills, and group size (most projects are designed for 5 to 25 people). Contact us to coordinate your volunteer project!

Events

Join our Special Events Squad to be one of the first contacted about these opportunities.

We host many events throughout the year. Some are specifically volunteer events, like Park Day, while others are events to engage the community. Annual events at Poplar Grove National Cemetery include placing flags on the headstones for Memorial Day, Luminary program in November, and Wreaths Across America in December.
