FOR GROUPS

Volunteers work on trails in the Presidio

Help preserve the Golden Gate National Parks, while working together in a meaningful and unique fashion. Our volunteer programs are a great team-building experience for corporate groups, community organizations, youth groups, and schools. No commitment or training necessary.

For groups of 10 or more volunteers, we can arrange a special project just for you. For large groups we can arrange multiple projects in a centralized location.

The Golden Gate National Parks Volunteer Program is a cooperative parkwide effort of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the National Park Service, and the Presidio Trust.

View our Volunteer Brochure (PDF) for an overview of our programs.
