WAYS TO GIVE
Volunteer
Our Volunteer Support empowers community members to make a meaningful impact by preserving and enhancing our parks through hands-on engagement and stewardship.
Volunteer opportunities
We appreciate your interest in becoming a National Park Service volunteer. There are a range of indoor and outdoor volunteer opportunities, depending on your interest and availability.
We support the National Park Service in helping find volunteers to protect the parks. Learn more about possible opportunities below, and sign up to volunteer at the national parks.
National Park Service volunteer opportunities may include:
Trail Stewards
For this role, volunteers are assigned to work on specific trails within one of the four parks and monuments. They monitor their trail to identify any safety hazards, ensure the trails are properly marked, and interact with visitors.
Weed Warriors
Volunteers work closely with the National Park Service’s Natural Resources staff to assist with removing invasive weeds in Arches and Canyonlands. These weeds may include ripgut brome, puncture vine, Russian thistle, tamarisk, and Russian olive.
Service Projects and Events
The National Park Service occasionally conducts special events and coordinates opportunities for volunteers to participate in one-time project events where extra hands are needed.
