The National Park Service Seeks Volunteers at
Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site
Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in Brookline, Massachusetts is seeking volunteers to be part of the National Park Service's Volunteers in Parks (VIP) program. The VIP program was developed to give people the opportunity to become part of the National Park Service's mission - helping to interpret and preserve our nation’s natural and cultural heritage.
Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site, located at 99 Warren Street in Brookline, was the home and office of America's premier landscape architect and his firm for close to a century.
The Olmsted firm worked on such notable projects as Central Park in New York, the U.S. Capitol Grounds, Stanford University, and Boston’s own “Emerald Necklace” park system.
Volunteers work directly with visitors to the site and also have opportunities to assist with special projects and events. Interested candidates should have good interpersonal and communication skills, a desire to work with the public, computer experience, and an interest in history, landscape architecture, museums, and/or the National Park Service. For further information please contact the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site's volunteer coordinator at 617/566-1689, extension 216, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. any day of the week.
