Position Title Community Volunteer Ambassador
Stewards Individual Placements 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 a diverse group of emerging leaders to assist park units in building lasting connections to communities.
The CVA at Rock Creek Park will help support volunteer programs, work with community partners, and exercise strategic outreach. The CVA will be tasked with expanding our SOLVE program (Sustaining Our Lands with Volunteer Energy). The candidate will seek out new partnerships, particularly with underserved communities, and foster these relationships. They will help build volunteer capacity, share equitable resources, and increase the parks access to the surrounding community.
The CVA will also help with our current volunteer programs such as Weed Warrior, Roving Rangers, and Stream Team leaders. They will aim to engage volunteers in service opportunities that include invasive plant removal, native plant restoration, and litter cleanups.
Rock Creek Parks Community Volunteer Ambassador will have a passion for community outreach, help think of new ideas, build capacity, and reinvigorate our volunteer programs.
Site Description:
Rock Creek Park itself was first established in 1890 to protect the natural historical landscape of the Rock Creek Valley in Washington, DC. The Park was one of the first designated federal park units and is unique due to its proximity to an urban center. The Park protects more than 2,000 acres of the Rock Creek watershed which provide habitat for many plant and animal species. While being embedded in a metropolitan city poses many environmental challenges, one benefit is the desire of the community to come out and volunteer in their neighborhood park.
Last year ROCR reported hosting over 4,500 volunteers who totaled over 18,500 hours of volunteer service. The park along with its partners run a number of volunteer programs that include SOLVE, Weed Warrior, Roving Rangers, and the Stream Team Leader program. Rock Creek Park also coordinates many service day events such as MLK day, National Public Lands Day.
