This building serves as a starting point for many visitors along the Virginia Creeper Trail as well as many other visitors to the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area.

Dates: June 10th - October 31st

Volunteers will serve 6-8 hours/day for 2-5 days/week. This allows time to experience the Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area on your days off!

Duties Include: 

• Provide visitor information

• Sell interpretive materials

Housing and reimbursement may be provided as necessary.  We prefer that this position be handled by a duo of volunteers due to high traffic to the center.
