3) Community Volunteer Ambassador Program
Join a diverse group of emerging leaders to assist park units in building lasting connections to local communities. Over 100 young professionals will serve as Community Volunteer Ambassador members for 50-52 week terms at National Park Service sites across the country from Hawaii to Florida, over the course of the year. CVAs support Volunteer-in-Parks programs at National Park Service sites nationwide. The CVA Program was developed to support NPS sites in connecting with their local communities through service and to provide young adults with a professional development opportunity within the National Park Service. CVAs provide capacity for NPS sites to establish community partnerships, develop new volunteer opportunities, and build volunteer program resources.
