Absecon Lighthouse’s survival is directly related to its volunteer base. This lighthouse, first lit in 1857, enjoys the open giving of our many volunteers with a wide variety of skills that they share with us to keep our historical site shining. Our volunteers greet our visitors daily and help to educate them on our rich history along the Atlantic City shore. Volunteer opportunities include guest services, special events, and educational programs. If you have the time during the week to give us just a few hours, then won't you please help keep our light shining bright? Come on and join our team!!!
