The CVA position at Zion National Park is intended to foster a life-long interest in supporting volunteerism and community action in the National Park Service and in natural spaces as a whole.

Site Description
Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah was the first National Park. This area was first designated as a Mukuntuweep National Monument in 1909 and became Zion National Park in 1919.
At a glance, it is immediately evident why this canyon and the surrounding area were designated as a National Park. The towering sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red contrast beautifully with the brilliant blue sky.
Wilderness can be found in its narrow slot canyons. Zion National Park’s unique array of plants and animals will enchant you as you absorb the rich history of the past and enjoy the excitement of present-day adventures.
Zion National Park is one of the most highly visited National Parks, attracting over 4 million visitors a year.
Zion National Park is dedicated to a more inclusive, equitable, safe, and productive work environment. The Volunteer Program at Zion National Park hosts a roster of 140-150 recurring position volunteers that do everything from monitoring our California Condor population, to picking up litter, to working in the greenhouse.
Our volunteer workforce is made of mostly retirees who serve 5 or more years.
Springdale, UT is a gateway town for Zion National Park and the town community is heavily involved in volunteering. The Park Volunteer Office and the town are partners in a bike safety program where we share volunteers to support the town and the Park.
Many of our most active recurring volunteers live in Springdale. However, we also have a significant number of volunteers that live in neighboring small towns and the larger city in the region, St.
George. These volunteers drive 30-60 minutes one way to volunteer in the park on a regular basis.
