VIP Program Assessment Notice
The VIP Program Assessment has
been completed! Paid NPS staff and NPS volunteers were surveyed
and asked to share their opinions of and experiences with
the VIP Program.
Program Goal
The goal of the VIP Program Assessment
was to review the National Park Service's current VIP program
and gather information about how to create a more efficient
volunteer program and strengthen its infrastructure. By delving
into the day-to-day operations at the national, regional,
and local levels, the consultants discovered the strengths
of program operations while also determining the areas that
may require improvement. Various assessment tools were used
to collect valuable information from more than 10,000 internal
and external stakeholders, who were randomly selected to participate.
Steering Committee
The steering committee represented
various stakeholder groups including national, regional, and
local level staff, volunteers, and partner groups. The committee
worked with the consultants of Walker Davidson LLC who had
previous experience with the National Park Service including
work with Harpers Ferry Interpretive Design Center, NPS Training
and Development, and a review of the NPS Directorate.
