If you volunteer at federal recreation sites, you can get a free annual pass. It is given to volunteers who have put in 250 or more hours at one or more federal recreation sites. This is an annual entrance pass to federal parks, monuments, historic sites, and recreation areas. Depending on the park, either the pass holder and people in the car with them, or up to four adults can get in with a Volunteer Pass. There is no charge for children under 16. You can use the pass for 1 year from the date you receive it.

How do I get the pass?

Once you have 250 service hours, you will be issued a pass. To find out how you can volunteer, you can ask about volunteer opportunities at any local federal recreation land sites managed by the five federal agencies listed above or go to www.volunteer.gov.
