Be a part of our Gundalow Co. Community!
The gundalow Piscataqua provides a unique platform for educating youth and adults, celebrating our rivers, and raising awareness of our unique maritime heritage. Our outreach is successful thanks to enthusiastic volunteers who teach, interpret, and promote our mission.
Why Should I Volunteer for the Gundalow Company?
By becoming a Gundalow volunteer, you join over 140 community members who are helping protect the marine environment and maritime heritage of the Piscataqua Region by donating their skills, energy and time. Our program takes roughly 2,000 students and over 8,000 members of the public out on the water each year and we couldn’t do it without our volunteers! We provide each volunteer with training and support as well as host many social and educational events for volunteers throughout the year.
