Volunteer program
Banff National Park
The Banff National Park Volunteer Program offers a range of opportunities for Canadian and international visitors to participate in learning and hands-on park stewardship activities.
“Volunteering with the Parks Canada team has been a great way to learn about the incredible hard work that Parks Canada is doing every day. I was especially impressed by the staff members’ dedication to conserving the ecological integrity of Parks Canada. Learning about Parks Canada was not only inspiring; it was also strongly motivating and encouraging. I am very thankful for all they have done for me and the other volunteers.”

Volunteer activities
Park stewards / hosts / ambassadors: Give back and be rewarded
“Hiking as a Parks Canada volunteer and doing trail reports is a great way to engage with visitors. It’s a great way to share information about the park and the amazing work that different divisions of Parks Canada does. It has helped me grow and learn and share the beauty of nature here in Banff National Park.”
Park stewardship activities: Be inspired and get hands-on experience
“Getting up at 4:45 am to acoustically monitor birds was amazing! The moon was still out, it was light out, the birds were singing their hearts out, and we were surrounded by majestic mountains...all accompanied by the distant roar of waterfalls.”
Corporate and group volunteering: Discover Canada’s first national park with your coworkers
“I would like to thank you on behalf of our corporate team for this great event. All those who joined either the Lunch and Learn or the field trip enjoyed it immensely. Thanks again and we're looking forward to working with you on next year's project.”
Service learning: Integrate your education with community service
“I want to thank you again for making our volunteer experience at Lake Minnewanka such a positive time on Monday. The students all had positive things to say.”
