Your experience will serve as an excellent opportunity to learn about the unique ecology of Catalina Island, give back to the environment and have some fun all at the same time. Our volunteer program has group and individual volunteer opportunities with projects restoring and preserving Santa Catalina Island. You can participate in a one-time special event or volunteer over several weeks, months or even years.
