Volunteers IN Parks Program

"VIPP"

This VOLUNTEERS IN PARKS PROGRAM (VIPP) section provides helpful resources for volunteering at DMSP. You will find tutorials on Better Impact, our volunteer management tool. You will also find DMSP specific maps and the Basic Interpretation Learning System (BILS) handbook.

Donner Volunteers, please share your Historic Tour outlines with us. The "Tour Outlines" empower new docents to design their tours and helps to keep our information up-to-date and relevant.

We have also included instructions, guidelines, and directions for leading school group programs (Wagons HO!, VC scavenger hunt, and school group guided tours). The "Historic Bullet Points" references significant occurrences in history, trivia, and interesting side-stories. Great for adding new talking points to your tours!
