Volunteer with the National Park Service

Our National Parks Need You

Enjoy the outdoors and help preserve our natural treasures

Across America’s nearly 400 national parks, thousands of individuals have found new ways to experience our country’s most amazing places and stay active: through volunteering with the National Park Service.
 
The National Parks Conservation Association, the leading voice for protecting and enhancing our national parks, recently traveled to Yosemite National Park and experienced the dedication, goodwill and humor found within volunteers Henk and Georgia Parson.
