Volunteer

The Sky is the Limit

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

We have volunteers who come out and staff our visitor center, perform beach clean-ups, assist with educational programs, run educational programs, create art & assist managing events. The park and the service as a whole could not fulfill the National Park mission without our volunteers! Thank you to all volunteers out there. Here is an article written by VIP, Terry Bledsoe, about her experience at Canaveral National Seashore.
