Volunteer Opportunities 2018
Since 1979 the Friends of the Boston Harbor Islands have enlisted the help of and have trained individuals to provide volunteer service on Boston Harbor. They have built up a knowledge base enabling them to assist visitors in discovering the harbor’s stories and exploring its landscapes. FBHI volunteers have been involved with programs and projects for the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park since it was first established. From the Boston waterfront to Boston Light they have helped visitors learn about the natural history, human stories and environmental treasures that make the harbor come alive.
As the National Parks of Boston system evolves new volunteer opportunities become available. The harbor islands are one piece in a larger puzzle of diverse programming and Boston history.
