Gulf Islands National Seashore Florida District Programs

Volunteers

 

Currently, we are not accepting vounteer applications due to the recovery efforts required after the devastation of Hurricane Ivan.

Gulf Islands National Seashore could not operate without our Volunteers-In-Parks program. Each year volunteers donate over 50,000 hours using their talents and expertise to assist the National Park Service in our mission of conserving natural and historical resources. VIPs do a variety of volunteer jobs including working as campground hosts at the Fort Pickens Campground, assisting visitors in the three visitor centers, painting historic cannons, leading bird walks, monitoring sea turtles, helping with the annual International Beach Cleanup, answering visitor information requests. The list goes on. If you are interested in volunteering in America's largest National Seashore please either send an e-mail message (Dick_Zani@nps.gov) or letter to the Volunteer Coordinator, Gulf Islands National Seashore, 1801 Gulf Breeze Parkway, Gulf Breeze, FL 32563-5000. The National Park Service has an agreement with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) to use student volunteers for conservation service. At Gulf Islands National Seashore SCA volunteers assist with a variety of natural resource projects.
