As part of the National Park Service centennial, the Centennial Volunteer Ambassadors program, established in 2015, will be expanding to over 100 ambassadors during the 2016-17 season in an effort to connect people of all ages to their national parks and public lands. Multiple volunteer opportunities are available at national parks, national recreation areas and national forests in Southern Utah.
The Centennial Volunteer Ambassador program is a partnership between the National Park Service and the Student Conservation Association. The program was launched last year on a pilot run involving 70 interns — including college and high school graduates and veterans.
Its expansion in 2016-17 will further support the Department of the Interior’s Play, Learn, Serve and Work Youth Initiative to expand educational, volunteer and career opportunities for millions of young people and veterans on the nation’s public lands.
“Even as we celebrate the National Park Service’s first one hundred years, we are focused on the next one hundred and the next generation of conservation leaders,” National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis said. “These Centennial Volunteer Ambassadors will share their passion for national parks and inspire people to develop their own connections to the great outdoors all across America.”
