Each year millions of people visit America’s State Parks. At many of these parks, non-profit partner organizations, known as Cooperating Associations, enhance your visit through funding to support educational and interpretive programs, and developing publications. Angel Island Association (AIA) is the Cooperating Association supporting Angel Island State Park (AISP).
Established in 1975, AIA’s primary mission is to facilitate the preservation, restoration and interpretation of historical and natural resources on Angel Island, with the goal of enhancing the visitors’ experiences and building a community to support AISP.
AIA is proud of its accomplishments:
- AIA provides this website and the AngelCam.
- Located at the ferry dock in Ayala Cove, the AIA Gift Shop carries a wide variety of merchandise, all of which highlight the natural beauty and historical significance of the island.
- AIA provides Student Service-Learning Scholarship Program enabling students from low income areas to visit and attend educational programs at Angel Island State Park.
- AIA produced a video highlighting the natural, historical and cultural significance of the island.
- AIA provided funding for oil spill remediation equipment and wildfire restoration and protection efforts.
- In partnership with AISP, AIA has begun the process of developing an Interpretive Master Plan, the first step in a process that will result in significant enhancements in the visitor experience, in Ayala Cove and beyond.
