Please visit the Grey Towers Forest Service Website often for any future postings.

Volunteer

We may be able to offer unpaid volunteer learning opportunities to students and recent grads who may need internship/externship credits, a resume builder, or some on-the-job introduction and experience. If volunteer opportunities are offered, housing would not be available.

If you are interested in volunteering, please submit a resume with a cover letter stating your area of interest and availability to the appropriate program contact listed below.

Scholar-in-Residence Program

This program is currently on hold. 

Professional historians and graduate students with a research project on forest or natural history conservation, the USDA Forest Service or Gifford Pinchot and his family, are invited to apply for the opportunity to reside at Gifford Pinchot’s ancestral home, immersing themselves in the site where Pinchot gained the inspiration to write, legislate, and tirelessly work on behalf of forest conservation.
