Volunteering

Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Forest Service. The types of work a volunteer can perform are many and varied—the only tasks a volunteer cannot carry out are those associated with law enforcement.

Your talents and skills are matched with your work preference to obtain a role that satisfies you and best fulfills the mission of the Forest Service. You can participate in a one-time project or serve over several months, seasons, or year-round. The White River National Forest welcomes you and hope we can find a volunteer job that's just right for you!
