Visitor Services Volunteer

Hampton National Historic Site is always looking for motivated, passionate, and dedicated individuals who want to help preserve the legacy of the National Parks for future generations. Hampton tells the story of people, the people who lived and worked on this once vast estate. The variety of stories at Hampton, from the family that lived in the mansion to the enslaved African Americans and indentured servants who made life on the estate possible, are best shared by our diverse volunteer corps. Coming from all walks of life, Hampton's volunteers generously donate their time to preserve the site and share these stories with visitors.

We always welcome volunteers to lead tours or the mansion, farm, and grounds and gardens. Volunteers are also invited to staff the visitor center, demonstrate a skill or trade, work in the gardens, or assist with invasive plant management.

You can help to introduce kids and adults to Hampton's development in the Early Republic, its many changes during the 19th and 20th centuries, and its new life as a national historic site. Volunteers are needed for weekdays and weekends.

Requirements: A willingness to engage in public speaking is a must! Our volunteers are required to donate eight (8) hours of time a month, generally over the course of two days, such as the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month.
