As a Visitor Service Volunteer (VSV), you will be trained to greet and engage visitors, ensuring a rewarding experience for all guests. The ideal candidate will work at least one four-hour shift per week, with a minimum of one shift per month each in the Vollmer Welcome Center and the Nature Education Center. To volunteer, you do not need to be an expert, though we welcome VSV’s with a variety of interests and talents to share!

Typical duties include welcoming guests, restocking handouts, answering questions, and keeping the space tidy. Besides simply feeling great about supporting Cylburn, benefits for regular volunteers include an annual volunteer appreciation banquet, free membership to Cylburn Arboretum Friends (CAF), and comradery with other volunteers. After you have been trained, you will have the opportunity to sign up on a monthly calendar for the shifts that work for your schedule!
