Volunteer’s we hear you! There are several ways to volunteers for the lighthouse group. At the beginning of each season we ask for volunteers to help in spring clean up at Porphyry Island this year will be June 2, 2018 and Trowbridge Island, June 16, 2018.

Volunteers may also help out on specific duties during the summer months.

Some volunteers just show up, having found their own way out by power, sail or paddle.

Volunteer also act as interpreters for our visitors, and can engage in programming activities, especially beneficial for students learning.

Volunteers assist in our administration, and our annual fundraising campaigns and public presentations whether it be an event at the art gallery or at the public library.

Choose to orientate you own work crew.   Get a group together or organization and organize your own volunteer work crew! The Thunder Bay Yacht Club’s, ”Destinations Project” has been going now for three years with great results.
