Maryland Park Service Volunteer Coordination System

The Maryland Park Service (MPS) has launched a new online statewide volunteer coordination system to make volunteering in state parks easier than ever.

Volunteers can now visit http://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/ and click on the “volunteers” tab to register with the new system and create a profile.

Opportunities can be searched by keyword, zip code and distance, specific interest, activity, availability and specific park name.

Users can also sign up for opportunities, enter volunteer hours and view their referrals and placements.
