How to Apply

If this sounds right for you, the park welcomes your application and would like to meet you. Applications are available for pick-up at either park visitor center. You can download a volunteer application from the park's website, or request an application by email from [email protected] or by phone (978) 318-7824, the park's volunteer coordinator. All volunteer (non-intern) applications for the summer season must be received by May 18, and those for the fall must be received by September 2. All volunteers attend an orientation training session for the park: dates are on the website.

The availability of volunteer positions will vary according to staffing levels and workloads in the park. No park housing and no trailer pads are available at the park. Volunteers must provide their own transportation to and from the park and between duty stations within the park.
