Volunteer Opportunites
We use a mix of both paid staff and volunteers to help oversee public garden hours and give guided tours. Our volunteers/staff participate in our special open-to-the-public events to help greet visitors, pass out information or enrich visitors immersive experience.
Volunteers can choose to be one-time only or can make regular recurring commitments according to their schedule. Your participation is invaluable to us continuing our programs!
We currently have volunteer positions open for the following:
