Minute Man National Historical Park is looking for some volunteers to help out this summer and fall/NPS

Got some free time and enthusiasm you can lend the staff at Minute Man National Historical Park in Massachusetts? The park has many different volunteer opportunities from which to choose: visitor center guide, North Bridge interpreter, education program assistant, Battle Road Trail guide, witness house guide, living history interpreter, interpretation intern, and trail clean-up crew, to name a few.

If you have a week, a month, a summer or more, you can:

* Join the Centennial Celebration of the NPS

* Volunteer your talents in everything from photography to gardening

* Welcome visitors from all over the country and the world to the birthplace the United States

* Expand your social network by meeting park rangers, other volunteers and members of our Friends group

* Take an active role in preserving national treasures like Concord's North Bridge and the Battle Road Trail

* Share your love of American history with the public

* Have fun while doing something worthwhile

For a full listing of positions for volunteers, visit the park website.

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.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
