Volunteer at Glen Echo Park

Volunteering is a great American tradition especially valued by the National Park Service. Volunteers play an important role in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. You can help the parks in a variety of areas from enhancing visitor services to sharing your specialized expertise to make the parks a better place.

"When a VIP agrees to share his talents, skills and interests with the National Park Service, he is paying us one of the highest compliments possible by offering a most valued possession - his time."


-George B. Hartzog, Jr.
