Interpretive Volunteer

As an interpreter, you will assist in presenting interpretive programs that help visitors discover and understand the natural surroundings or the state's past.  The greatest need for interpreters is during the spring and summer season.  Volunteers in this capacity will undergo training from staff.

About Prairie State Park

Tallgrass prairies once covered more than a third of Missouri; today, less than one percent remains, much of it preserved at Prairie State Park. Visitors to the park see panoramic vistas of swaying grass and ever-changing wildflowers. They also may spot the park’s resident bison herd. The park’s Regal Tallgrass Prairie Nature Center offers exhibits and interpretive programs designed to inform visitors about the special place.
