The mission of Landmark Volunteers is to encourage public service among high school students and to foster a sense of social conscience at an age when the satisfaction of "giving something back" can influence these teenagers' lives; and to contribute value to leading non-profit historical, environmental, social service, scientific and cultural organizations across the United States.

While at the Henry Coe State Park in CA, Landmark volunteers helped with rigorous trail clearing, fence maintenance and building shade structures. They also learned about the natural world!	Landmark volunteers camped out for two weeks while they worked hard to clear a new section of trail that would add to the existing 500 miles of the Colorado Trail.
At historical colonial Williamsburg, volunteers worked with the paint shop on various painting projects including painting the bands that hold oak barrels together.	In an effort to transform and preserve a historic landmark, a site where Marconi transmitted the first trans-Atlantic radio communications, Landmark volunteers cleared and painted hundreds of feet of fence that had been taken over by vines and other growth from years of neglect.
Among various projects such as trail clearing, painting and repairing horse humps, volunteers at Morgan Horse Farm helped unload over 900 bails of hay into a third story hayloft of an old Vermont barn.	One valuable project Landmark volunteers contribute to the National Elk Refuge in Wyoming is to put a fresh coat of paint to all the boundary fence posts. The organization provides a winter home to over 7,000 elk.
At Spotted Bear Ranger District in Montana, at a wilderness ranger station, Landmark volunteers were involved with the rigorous task of cutting new trail, clearing exiting trails and building jackleg fences to corral the ranch’s working horses and mules.	Landmark volunteers at Mohonk Preserve in New Paltz, NY helped build a sturdy stone path in a section of trail that is particularly vulnerable to erosion in the spring.
