SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Volunteers-In-Parks Program
Assessment.
Bureau Form Number: None.
OMB Number: 1024–xxxx.
Expiration Date: To be requested.
Type of Request: Request for new
clearance.
Description of Need: This survey is
needed to survey NPS volunteers to
assess the Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP)
program effectiveness. The NPS VIP
program is authorized by the Volunteers
in the Parks Act of 1969 as originally
enacted was Public Law 91–357.
Volunteering is an American tradition
that over the years has made an
immeasurable contribution to
communities, organizations, and
individuals throughout the country.
Volunteers are vital to the success of the
National Park Service. The VolunteersIn-Parks program can accept and use
voluntary help and services from the
public, in a way that is mutually
beneficial to the NPS and the volunteer.
In FY2005, 137,000 volunteers donated
5.2 million hours of service to their
national parks at a value of $91.2
million. VIPs come from every state and
many different countries to help
preserve and protect America’s natural
and cultural heritage for the enjoyment
of this and future generations. Over the
past 35 years, this program has
consistently grown to become one of the
government’s largest, most successful
volunteer programs. Between FY2003
and 2004, the program experienced its
biggest increase in history. The number
of VIPs increased by 14% and the
number of hours by 11%. In order to
effectively manage the increasing trend
of volunteerism in the National Park
Serivce, it is imperative that the
organization assesses its strengths and
weaknesses and determines methods for
improved efficiency. A servicewide
volunteer program assessment has not
been conducted to date. Both paid staff
and volunteers will be surveyed during
this process to collect information about
the current status and needs of the
program. Recommendations for
improvements will be made based on
the findings. This process will not only
aid in creating a improved, streamlined
program, but may also serve as a model
for other Federal agencies.
Automated data collection: There will
be an opportunity to provide this
information electronically through a
designated, secure Web site.
