Job Description
FROM: https://www.volunteer.gov/s/volunteer-opportunity/a09SJ00000QxGbF
ADDRESS: 1000 North Croatan Highway Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, 27948
DATES: 10/1/2026 – 10/1/2027
DEPT: National Park Service
JOB DESCRIPTION:
Housing Details: A free RV pad with full hookups is offered to volunteers who perform 32 hours of work per week. RV pad is located at Bodie Island in Cape Hatteras National Seashore, approximately a 20 minute drive from Wright Brothers National Memorial.
Help preserve and improve the developed areas of Wright Brothers National Memorial by joining the Facilities Management team as a Facilities Maintenance Volunteer. Volunteers work alongside National Park Service employees on projects that directly enhance the visitor experience while helping protect one of America’s most iconic national parks. Projects may include repairing and assembling picnic tables, drilling and installing hardware, sanding wood surfaces, performing minor carpentry tasks, cleaning and organizing maintenance shops, removing fallen branches and vegetative debris, assisting with campground preservation and beautification projects, transporting tools and materials, and supporting other light maintenance assignments. Work varies based on priorities and park needs. Volunteers receive task-specific training, safety orientation, and direct supervision from National Park Service Staff. Operation of hand tools, power tools, and sand equipment is permitted only after required training, supervisor authorization, completion of applicable safety documentation, and while wearing required personal protective equipment (PPE). No previous maintenance experience is required. This opportunity is available on a full-time or part-time basis depending on project needs and volunteer availability. Work is performed primarily outdoors and involves walking on uneven terrain, lifting and carrying materials, and working in a variety of weather conditions. If you enjoy working with your hands, taking on meaningful projects, and leaving Yosemite’s grounds and visitor facilities better than you found them, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact while gaining practical experience with the National Park Service.
