Each year hundreds of volunteers contribute nearly 20,000 hours of service to Prince William Forest Park. Some service groups come for the day, other volunteers stay for months. Some are students, others are retirees looking for adventure during their "golden years." Some maintain and/or patrol trails while others work as campground hosts or as visitor center personnel. But regardless of age or background, these folks share a desire to make a positive contribution to the management of the park. Volunteers are a valuable and valued part of our operation and our community.

While we have far more applicants than positions, we are always looking for enthusiastic and energetic people. Volunteers generally work two to three months, depending on the nature of work to be performed and the park's needs. The park may provide trailer or recreational vehicle campsites with full hookups or housing and utilities.
