Volunteering

Photo of a Forest Service employee working with children. Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Forest Service. The types of work a volunteer can perform are many and varied—the only tasks a volunteer cannot carry out are those associated with law enforcement.

Your talents and skills are matched with your work preference to obtain a role that satisfies you and best fulfills the mission of the Forest Service. You can participate in a one-time project or serve over several months, seasons, or year-round.

Coordination

Volunteering can offer valuable experience and lifelong memories. Give it a try! Contact the forest volunteer coordinator for information and a volunteer application.

Contact the district office closest to you or of your interest for more information. See our District page for contact numbers.

What Projects?

Projects can range from a single-day project to a long-term undertaking lasting for several months.

What captures your interest—trail work, campground host, bird surveys, information receptionist, wilderness restoration, conservation education?
