Volunteers
Would You Like to Help Visitors Learn to
Appreciate and Protect Our Forest?
Become a Discovery Center Volunteer!
If you do, then the Discovery Center has a volunteer opportunity for you! You'll be joining over 100 other volunteers who enjoy meeting Discovery Center visitors and helping them get the information they're looking for such as where to hike, camp, picnic, go off roading, etc. Help families learn about animals, plants, trees, flowers, native peoples and many other interesting subjects. You'll have a chance to visit with people from all over the world. Volunteers are asked to donate 8 hours of their time a month, or more if they want to.
We need volunteers to help with a variety of jobs, including:
-
Greeters to welcome visitors as they approach the Center
-
Information specialists to help answer general questions
-
Naturalists to talk about local plant and wildlife.
-
Gift store assistants
-
Nature walk guides
-
Weekend activities assistants, such as gold panning, animal tracking and craft activities.
-
Special event helpers, including concerts and fundraisers, plus many more
-
Educating local youth through school programs at the Discovery Center and in the classroom.
We teach you everything you'll need to know.
To learn more about joining the Discovery Center volunteer team, please attend one of our no obligation orientation sessions.
