Event Host: Volunteers are essential to the atmosphere and execution of arts and cultural events in the park; we simply could not offer these programs without our volunteers. Get involved with one of our family-friendly outdoor programs including the Summer Performance Series, Family Fun Tuesdays, Shakespeare Festival and Medieval Fair. Activities may include greeting, directing, and collecting donations from visitors, answering general park and program questions, assisting staff or artists with set-up and clean-up, and making popcorn. The best part is staying to enjoy the program! Perfect one-time or summer-long volunteer opportunity. |
Gardener: Gardeners will work on a variety of projects from planting flowers and trees to weeding and watering under the direction of a staff member or experienced volunteer. Experience is not necessary, just a love of nature and a drive to learn. Ongoing and single event opportunities are available for individuals and groups from April – September. Groundskeeper: Assist the park’s groundskeeper or artist-in-residence with a variety of outdoor jobs around the park. A month or longer commitment is needed. Clean-up: Volunteers are needed throughout the season for leaf raking and storm debris clean-up. Raking events will be scheduled in the Spring and Fall and groups may set-up their own outing. Raking volunteers are asked to bring their own rake. Storm clean-up volunteers will be called on an as-needed basis. Excellent opportunity for organized groups, families and students.
