Established workplaceAccepts general applications
A standing programme or a past notice shows this place uses these workers. No current opening is confirmed.
What we found: The preserve's updated volunteer page explicitly includes campground hosting and visitor-centre support alongside trail, resource and facility work. It describes both full-time winter participants and local volunteers and provides a coordinator route plus Volunteer.gov. The general page does not promise every participant an RV site or specify a universal service schedule. Keep it separate from FNPA's paid park-store jobs in the same preserve and verify the exact federal resident assignment.
Staffing evidence: Standing programme or repeated hiring at this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
