Love St. John. Love The Park.
Stunning beaches, miles of trails, marine life, fauna and flora in abundance, and a rich cultural history! Some 60% of St. John is Virgin Islands National Park and Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument.
Friends of Virgin Islands National Park is a non-profit organization and is the official philanthropic partner of the Park. The Friends supports the National Park Service in assuring the Park's unique terrestrial and marine resources are protected, the Virgin Islands' cultural treasures in the Park are preserved, and visitors and community are connected to their Park through volunteerism and education.
The work we do is made possible thanks to the support of people like you! Thank you!
