Today, the National Park Service includes over 370 sites. Employees have been challenged with a dual mission of conserving and protecting our natural, historical, and cultural resources, as well as providing recreational opportunities.
Many individuals assist our parks and their employees by volunteering their time and talents.
The schedule and amount of time worked will be negotiated. Parking in the Arch parking garage is free to all volunteers, and reimbursement is provided for Bi-State Metro Link and bus fares. Training for all duties is provided. Uniforms are provided for volunteers who work with the public. Volunteer Opportunities at the Gateway Arch and the Museum of Westward Expansion Information Desk and Museum Shop Greet the general public and provide information regarding park activities and St. Louis points of interest.
