OVERALL EXPERIENCE
Volunteers are not assigned duty during the first week of arrival to allow time to get acclimated to the area.
Volunteers provided a reciprocal pass, which allows each volunteer and one guest free entrance to 42 Charleston Historic Sites, including Harbor Cruises.  Volunteer Coordinator is excellent to work with and ensures volunteer schedules can accommodate requests.  The work involves the use of a cash register for entry fees, and a separate cash register for Book Store sales.  An historical Ft Moultrie video is shown every 30 minutes.  Interact with visitors providing historical interpretive information for museum exhibits and Ft Moultrie displays.  Volunteers can participate optionally as Ft Moultrie Interpretive Guides.
Park Service Hats, Polo Shirts provided.
Volunteers can wear Khaki, Beige, Olive Drab shorts/pants/trousers.
The beginning of what appears to be another great experience with the National Park Service.
Volunteers are recognized with a Dinner Cruise during October.    We had a 2 month commitment, and stayed 3 months.
Charleston has been such an exceptional City to visit, and we enjoy working with the great NPS Staff at the Historic sites.
