Gulf Islands National Seashore could not operate without our Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP) program. Each year volunteers donate over 23,000 hours using their talents and expertise to assist the Seashore in our mission of conserving natural and historical resources.

VIPs can choose from a variety of volunteer jobs including: assisting visitors in two visitor centers, painting historic cannons, leading bird walks, monitoring sea turtles, helping with the annual International Beach Cleanup and answering visitor information requests.

If you are interested in volunteering in America's largest National Seashore please send an e-mail or complete a volunteer application and mail it to the Volunteer Coordinator, Gulf Islands National Seashore, 1801 Gulf Breeze Parkway, Gulf Breeze, FL 32563-5000.
