State of Alaska Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation

Mission Statement

Alaska State Parks depends on volunteers to help manage and maintain our parks. Volunteers provide services that would not otherwise be offered. In turn, volunteers receive valuable training and experience for their service. There are several facets to the VIP program. Perhaps one of them is right for you! Applicants must be 18 years of age or older, and a U.S. Citizen to Volunteer or Intern in Alaska State Parks.
