Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP)

As a volunteer at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, you will not only stay active and involved, you will have the chance to teach others and learn new skills! Help present the natural and cultural resources of the nation's only 'floating' national park to a diverse visitor population, and help preserve these unique resources for future generations.

The VIP office welcomes back all our old friends and welcomes aboard our new friends. VIPs are here to support all the activities in the park from ship preservation to cleaning up the shoreline along Aquatic Park beach.

This year we are expanding visitors' opportunities to experience the trades and crafts of old-time San Francisco. VIP projects this year will include fishnet mending, canvas work and bookbinding.

If you are interested in learning about these crafts and/or have skills that you would like to volunteer, please contact Terry Dorman or Erin Nhaminerva in the Volunteer Office, located on Hyde Street Pier, at 415-561-7160 or by email.
