OCTOBER 2025 ALERT: Thank you for your interest in volunteering. Due to the ongoing government shutdown park volunteer programs are impacted. Please pay attention to updates provided for each program. Additional information on the shutdown's impact on the Golden Gate National Recreation Area can be found here.

It's fun. It's healthy. It makes a difference. And it's easy to get started! We have a variety of options to choose from - for individuals and groups, and many that do not require experience or commitment. We will provide all the training, tools, and leadership.

With 80,000 acres of park land, we need your help as we work towards our vision of Parks For All Forever.
