About the Volunteer-In-Parks (VIP) Program
Volunteer opportunities at Fort Vancouver, the McLoughlin House, and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve are as diverse as the programs and resources of the park.
History and archaeology buffs, carpenters, artists, students, gardeners and many more people have found in the park a place to share their skills. Each volunteer's contribution makes a big difference!
