Position Title: Community Volunteer Ambassador, Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument – AmeriCorps
jobshiringnearme.org Legacy Program: Stewards Individual Placements
Site Location: Crow Agency, MT 59022
Application Timeline: Preference given to applicants that submit application by June 13, 2025

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.
Little Bighorn Battlefield has an exciting opportunity for a CVA to help rebuild its volunteer program in anticipation for the 150th Commemoration in 2026.
Little Bighorn Battlefield is a place to honor and reflect on the sacrifices made here on June 25 and 26, 1876, when Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors fought against a deliberate attack by the U.S. Army’s 7th Cavalry, led by Lt. Col. George Custer, who sought to enforce policies that threatened their traditional way of life. This land continues to offer a place of reflection and healing for those involved. In addition to the battlefield, Custer National Cemetery is also contained within park boundaries and managed by park personnel.
The park is rich in opportunities for volunteers; however, it has not had an established local volunteer policy or recruitment effort for a number of years and currently has no position volunteer. In the past, volunteers have served for short stints of time, mainly for yearly events and interpretation, but without any formalized plans or strategy the park has not maintained these volunteer contacts. Little Bighorn Battlefield is excited to build a volunteer program, overseen by the Volunteer Manager (who is also the Interpretation Program Manager) from the ground up based in policy and park needs.
The Community Volunteer Ambassador (CVA) at Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument (LIBI) will play a vital role in building a sustainable volunteer program to support the park’s operations and the upcoming 150th commemoration of the Battle of the Greasy Grass in June 2026. Working closely with the Volunteer Program Manager, the CVA will assist in establishing a strong policy foundation, developing recruitment strategies, and creating new volunteer opportunities. Through collaboration with Tribal Nations, local communities, and stakeholders, the CVA will help foster meaningful partnerships and expand community engagement. This position offers hands-on experience in volunteer program management, event coordination, and professional development opportunities within LIBI and the broader Powder River Group of parks.

Additional Position and Community Information
The CVA position at Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument offers a truly unique opportunity to be part of a transformative time in the park’s history. The CVA’s schedule will include weekends and holidays during the busy summer season to support major events and increased visitation. Due to the park’s remote location—where the nearest shopping is about an hour away—a valid driver’s license is required. To support the CVA, the park provides a one-bedroom, fully furnished apartment with WiFi included and strong cell phone service. While winter months may feel quieter due to the park’s small permanent staff and the absence of seasonal staff, this solitude is balanced by a tight-knit, supportive work environment and wide-open spaces for exploration.
The CVA will also have exciting opportunities to collaborate with other parks in the Powder River Group, such as assisting with major events at Devils Tower during Sturgis or supporting programs at Big Horn Canyon. Montana’s incredible outdoor recreation opportunities are right at your doorstep—with Little Bighorn Battlefield just 3.5 hours from Yellowstone National Park and 3.5 hours from Devils Tower National Monument, giving the CVA unparalleled access to hiking, camping, and sightseeing across the region.
This is also a remarkable time to join LIBI, as the park prepares to open a brand-new visitor center in
summer 2026. The CVA will play an important role in building the foundation for a revitalized volunteer program and helping to shape interpretation and visitor services for the future. It’s a rare opportunity to be part of meaningful, lasting change at a nationally significant site.
If you’re outgoing, ready to dive into community building, and excited to help lay the groundwork for the future of volunteerism and interpretation at LIBI, this is your moment. Come be part of something historic — and have the adventure of a lifetime along the way!
