Opportunity Description: 

Do you love to ski and snowshoe, or maybe you have always wanted to learn? The Douglas Center for Environmental Education needs volunteers to assist with our informal skiing and snowshoeing program on Saturdays throughout the winter. In summer we need help hiking the same trail. Volunteers are needed to lead a hike or ski the trails to assist folks who might need help. If you prefer indoor activities, we could use help on Saturdays and in the Summer on Sundays with craft activities for younger visitors and even staffing the front desk to greet visitors. The Douglas Center is really hopping on Saturdays now, so we could always use a helping hand. Volunteers need not commit to every Saturday or even a full day, but we can work with you to set up a regular schedule. If interested or if you have questions, please contact Julie Larsen at 219-395-1821 or by email at julianne_larsen@nps.gov.

    Opportunity Description: 

    The summer and fall of 2013 mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War Campaign for Chattanooga. Civil War armies required tens of thousands of soldiers, the largest armies ever seen on United States soil. Commemorating these soldiers’ actions also requires an army and we want YOU to be a part of it! Volunteers are needed for events in September, October, and November. Here are just some of the volunteer needs we have identified:*

    • Visitor Information Stations: Volunteers are needed to greet visitors around the battlefields, welcoming them, handing out maps and event schedules, providing basic park information and orientation, and answering questions about the events.

    • Registration: Many anniversary events will require pre-registration and we need volunteers to help sign people in and give directions.

    • Guides: For the October Occupation and Liberation Symposium, we need volunteers who are good with kids to guide groups in between activities.

    • Special Events Team: Every activity requires many hours of pre-event preparation. Think you can help? Join the S.E.T. team!

    • Parking Crew: Like teamsters moving armies, we need volunteers to help law enforcement staff guide visitors in parking cars to ensure visitors arrive and depart safely and the battlefield grounds are protected. Directions, training and safety vests will be given on site by park law enforcement. This is a perfect option for scout troops or Junior ROTC groups!

    • We have many, many more needs. Feel free to drop in an application and we will contact you soon!

    Instruction, any necessary equipment, refreshments, and a special 150th anniversary surprise will be provided for all volunteers. More information about programming can be found at the park website: http://www.nps.gov/chch/planyourvisit/150th-anniversary-of-the-campaign-for-chattanooga.htm.

    *A minimum 4-hour commitment is needed to volunteer for the event; at least one full or 8-hour day is preferred.
