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.

Volunteer Opportunities that may interest you:
  • Volunteer with park rangers on Boston’s waterfront
  • Volunteer helping visitors on Georges or Spectacle island
  • Help out on FBHI boat trips
  • Learn to present a talk at a local library or to a group
  • Help out with publications and mailings
This season volunteer positions are available at the Park Welcome Center in Boston, in the Charlestown Navy Yard, and a limited number of positions are open on Georges Island and Spectacle Island. You may contact either the FBHI Coordinator of Volunteers or the National Parks of Boston Coordinator of Volunteers for more information.

As advocates and providers of direct volunteer service the Friends have expanded our educational, environmental, and recreational opportunities in the Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area.
