Scholarships

Friends of Virgin Islands National Park believes that the future of conservation on St. John resides in our youth.  As such we are focused on building a pipeline of concerned and engaged citizens starting with School Kids In The Park (SKIP) and Learn To Swim programs through scholarships, summer job opportunities, and internships.
