Purpose:
Stewards Individual Placements, a program of jobshiringnearme.org Legacy, provides individuals with service and career opportunities to strengthen communities and preserve our natural resources. The Community Volunteer Ambassador (CVA) Program combines the strength of a national leader in conservation service with the National Park Service to train emerging leaders to assist park units in building lasting connections to communities.
The Community Volunteer Ambassador (CVA) position at National Parks of Philadelphia plays an
important role in advancing the park’s commitment to volunteerism and community engagement. With the upcoming America 250th celebration, the park is prioritizing unique opportunities in community engagement and volunteering. The CVA will help in the development of new programs, assisting with the coordination of events, and supporting the community engagement team in exploring new initiatives.
In this role, the CVA will help organize more routine volunteer events that foster a sense of community pride and connection to our shared history. By collaborating with local organizations and engaging varied groups, the CVA will enhance our community partnerships and ensure that volunteer efforts align with the park’s mission to preserve and promote the significance of the National Parks of Philadelphia. This position offers an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the park and the communities it serves.
The National Parks of Philadelphia consists of four separate units that are unified in management but have unique enabling legislation. Independence National Historical Park is the largest and contains iconic Philadelphia landmarks such as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. The other units — Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site, Thaddeus Kosciuszko National Memorial, and Gloria Dei National Historic Site — each tell their own unique stories.
The collage of stories and historic sites within the National Parks of Philadelphia creates volunteer and community engagement opportunities for varied audiences. Our volunteer program consists of opportunities with the Interpretation, Facility Management, and Resource Stewardship Divisions and has approximately 260 volunteers contributing 10,000 hours of service a year.
