Volunteer with the National Park Service: The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site

Volunteer with a site just a few blocks away from Thurgood Marshall Academy--the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site!



The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site honors Frederick Douglass' life and accomplishments. Douglass freed himself from slavery and helped to free millions of others. After the Civil War Douglass moved to Washington, DC to serve in international affairs, in the Council of Government for the District of Columbia, and as US Marshal for the District. In 1877 he purchased his home, which he named Cedar Hill and later became the location of the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site.
