The purpose of Director's Order #7 is to provide direction for implementing the NPS VIP program locally, regionally and nationally and with partners.

The "How to Succeed with Volunteers-In-Parks” training series is a 14 module series which you can facilitate in your park. Review and download these materials to find out how. Even if you can't facilitate the training series, you might find these supporting documents of use.

Training Busy Staff to Succeed with Volunteers: 55-Minute Training Series can be used to train both leaders of volunteers and all staff who interface with volunteers.

The National Park Service has provided several training module series to help NPS staff work effectively with volunteers.

This resource and all of its content is the product of a service-wide initiative to collaboratively update the Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP) training materials.
