Volunteering
Northeast Passage often seeks out volunteers who have a strong interest
in a particular activity and are eager to help others learn the activity.
Volunteering through Northeast Passage allows you to be involved in
an activity you love, while sharing that enthusiasm and knowledge
with people who are looking to learn or get back involved in something
they love. To volunteer with Northeast Passage, fill out the
volunteer form and send it in to the NEP office. Your information
will be entered into the database and you will be notified when NEP
needs an extra hand or your expertise. Volunteer opportunities include
assisting Northeast Passage participants on the golf course, on hiking
trails, and on the water, to name a few. NEP is always looking for
volunteer photographers, medical personnel, and people with specialized
skills (fiberglass work, welding, etc.)
