Williamsport Visitor Center Volunteer - 2026

Immediate openings for volunteers in Williamsport, MD. Applicants must be 18 years or older. Currently we have shifts available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Shifts will be 4 hours, and we are looking for a commitment of at least 10 shifts (40 hours of volunteer service) by September 30, 2026.

Visitor Center volunteers are some of the first park representatives that visitors meet. Volunteers will be working the front desk in the visitor center of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal NHP in Williamsport, MD. Volunteers will provide park orientation to visitors, answer questions, hand out brochures, work with Jr Rangers, and much more! Volunteers will also be trained in opening and closing procedures, and basic natural and cultural history of the park.

This opportunity involves working with people from different backgrounds and at times working with a high volume of visitors. We are looking for locals, as housing is not provided with this opportunity. Volunteers must be dependable and professional when representing the National Park Service.
