National forests and grasslands are resources we all own. If you decide to volunteer to help meet the Forest Service mission you will have some great opportunities to:
Earn college credits with volunteer internships
Diversify your job experience
Provide community service
Increase your career choices
Meet people and form new friendships
The commitment you make is up to you. Training may be provided to you if your job requires it.
If you are retired or have summers free, you may wish to live on a national forest while you work as a volunteer.
College students may perform volunteer service related to their coursework for college credit.
A variety of jobs are available if you prefer an office environment or opportunities are available to perform vigorous but satisfying physical labor outdoors.
