Service Learning Program

From youth groups to grad school, our service learning opportunities provide students at any age a unique way to make a difference in their national park. With the help of our dedicated staff you can work on a project that inspires you. What will that be?

Students will learn new skills, develop strong bonds with their peers, and appreciate the value of giving back to a service-learning project in the park. A service learning day might include a brief history of the park and teaching the students the importance of their assigned project, followed by a stewardship project.

To schedule a service learning event with the park, please call or email us!
