Do you love trains, history, and sharing your knowledge with others? We’ve got just the thing for you!
Join the National Park Service and Amtrak as a Trails & Rails Volunteer Guide to enhance the journeys of Amtrak passengers.
Trails & Rails volunteer guides share the heritage of our region with passengers aboard Amtrak trains. In 2024, we will offer two routes: St. Louis, MO to Springfield, IL, and St. Louis to Jefferson City, MO. This is part of Amtrak’s national Trails & Rails program.
Volunteers may serve as often as they want, as they make their own schedules via an online portal. Typically, volunteers serve around 6-12 hours a month, but some do far more.
Volunteers work in pairs, either with another volunteer or with a park ranger.
Basic Requirements:
- Ability to see and hear, to lift up to 35 pounds, and possess strength and mobility of all limbs.
- Persons age 16 or older may become a Trails & Rails volunteer at this park, but volunteers under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- Effective communication skills
Time Commitment:
- Each round trip lasts 6 to 7 hours, subject to unexpected delays. There is no overnight requirement.
- Volunteers are expected to make at least six trips in the summer season, Memorial Day to Labor Day.
- Training and orientation sessions will be held on April 27 and May 3 from 9am to 3pm. All volunteers are required to attend one of these training sessions.
