Interested in Becoming a Volunteer?
Do you want to help keep our parks open for years to come? San Juan County Parks is seeking volunteers to help out in your beautiful county parks. Help us keep a favorite park open by being a camp host during the summer season, assisting with grounds maintenance, litter pick-up, monitoring park activities, public information and outreach, park interpretation, data entry, or special projects.
A variety of volunteer opportunities are available. You bring your enthusiasm, we provide guidance, support and an incredible work setting! If you'd like to help us look after a County park on your island, email us, please put volunteer as the subject line, or call the Parks Administration office at 360-378-8420.
