About the role

Volunteer duties include: meet and cheerfully greet visitors; provide area and Refuge recreation opportunity information; give orientations about the work of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Wildlife Refuge System; assist visitors with rules and regulations; answer telephones; answer visitor questions; respond to visitor correspondence; distribute brochures and restock brochures. Volunteers will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and appreciation of the environment and the National Wildlife Refuge System with diverse audiences. Age Requirement: Age 18 years old and up.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
