The "Volunteers in Parks" (VIP) programs for Sonoma Coast SP encompass education and stewardship. Stewards offers a variety of unique opportunities and time commitments for individuals or groups wishing to participate as volunteers. Come and join a marvelous group of people who find being a State Parks Volunteer a most rewarding experience!

New volunteers are required to attend one of the three General Orientation Sessions offered during the year. However, stewardship volunteers can sign-up for activities any time of the year and do not have to wait to attend an orientation before beginning to volunteer.
