Calling all Hatteras Island teens!

The National Park Service invites all Hatteras Island rising 7th - 12th graders to join in some exciting summer volunteer experiences to:

  • Assist in staffing the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on the monthly full moon and weekly night climbs;
  • Help a ranger teach visitors about the creatures of the sound and sea at a soundside seining program; and
  • Join other teens in field projects that will aid in protecting the seashore.

This is a great opportunity to get involved with education and appreciation of the unique natural and cultural resources on this very special and dynamic island environment, where you live!

To get involved please contact Park Ranger Jason Ginder, by phone at 252-995-4474 x24 or via the e-mail link above.
