MORE WAYS TO GIVE
The Volunteer-In-Parks program (VIP) provides essential and fundamental support for park operations every day. There are 200+ active and dedicated volunteers that give more than 17,000 hours annually. Volunteers assist with natural, cultural and historical aspects of interpretation, visitor services, and conservation. The park receives a modest amount of federal funds for the volunteer program but these funds are limited and restricted, so funding from the Foundation is crucial and appreciated.
Email cabr_volunteers@nps.gov to get started.
Cabrillo Store
The Cabrillo Store offers a treasure trove of Cabrillo National Monument and park memorabilia. Conveniently located in the Visitor Center, as well as online, it features everything from books on Cabrillo’s exploration to commemorative gifts. Each purchase supports our work on the park’s community programs, providing unique visitor and educational experiences.
The online store is currently under construction, but if you would like to purchase something, please email us at store@cnmf.org. Thank you!
Ralphs Community Contribution Program
