Our volunteers play an important role in almost every aspect of the Lake District National Park Authority's work. There are likely to be volunteers active somewhere in the Lake District on every day of the year!
Most volunteer roles require a regular commitment so will best suit those resident in Cumbria. We welcome applications from everyone aged 18 and over, with no upper age limit. If you are aged 14-18, take a look at our Young Ranger programme.
You can find out more about what each role involves, how to apply, the time commitment and how we'll support you by clicking on the relevant role.
Our Young Ranger Leaders help to facilitate Young Ranger activities each month in different locations across the National Park.
