What Is a SUN ‘n FUN Volunteer?
A SUN ‘n FUN volunteer is more than a helper.
They are an ambassador, a mentor, a teacher, a builder, a problem-solver, and a friend.
They come from all walks of life and bring with them unique skills, experiences, and perspectives. Together, they help create the experiences, opportunities, and memories that make SUN ‘n FUN special.
Their commitment has shaped our organization from the very beginning and continues to fuel our mission every day.
