How to Volunteer at National Parks in 2025

"This recreation area runs frequent, scheduled volunteer opportunities—typically every Wednesday and Thursday through Dec. 31 from about 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.—which are posted on the Park Service volunteer calendar. Events vary in their registration rules (some require advance sign-up while others allow same‑day participation); volunteers can help with conservation projects, gain behind‑the‑scenes access, and apply service hours toward a Volunteer Pass." - Opheli Garcia Lawler Opheli Garcia Lawler Opheli Garcia Lawler is a journalist with a decade of experience, half of which has been dedicated to covering the way we travel.
