MALLSTAR Volunteers will mark this monumental 250th year with 250 hours of volunteer service and earn a volunteer park pass and special recognition for theirservice.
And be a part of specialized trainings, engaging celebratory events, and a thriving, dynamic community of civic-minded individuals championing our public lands and shared American story.
SIGN UP BELOW to be a part of history and help visitors connect to the stories behind the National Mall for America's 250th... and for generations to come.
