About this Opportunity

Attention RVers! Fort Vancouver National Historic Site is seeking volunteers to help greet visitors at the park's Visitor Center and connect them to the history of aviation at Pearson Air Museum. At the Visitor Center, you will help orient visitors and provide information about all of the park's offerings. At Pearson Air Museum, you will be able to introduce visitors to the incredible history of Pearson Field. From its roots as a civilian air field, to its history as the site of a World War I Spruce Mill and its transformation into an important Army Air Corps field, Pearson Air Museum helps provide a detailed look into the golden age of aviation. Volunteers at either of these locations will inform visitors about park facilities and activities, and will distribute mission-related materials such as Junior Ranger activity booklets. They will also assist with opening and closing the facilities, and will operate radios and basic audiovisual equipment. There may be additional opportunities to perform duties outside of this description, such as roving interpretation. Volunteers will be required to wear a National Park Service volunteer uniform. This is a three- to five-month position, and duty hours will be 9 am to 5 pm, switching to 9 am to 4 pm on November 5.
