Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park, Inc.

Our Mission

Friends of Virgin Islands National Park protects and preserves the natural and cultural resources of Virgin Islands National Park while connecting visitors to the park and the park to the community.

Friends of Virgin Islands National Park is the official philanthropic partner of Virgin Islands National Park and the only non-profit on St. John and St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands focused solely on the protection of the Park's natural and cultural resources. Since 1988, we have been assisting and advising the National Park Service in assuring the Park’s unique terrestrial and marine resources are protected, the Virgin Island’s cultural treasures in the Park are preserved, and visitors are connected to their Park through volunteerism, education and advocacy.
