What does a Nature Center Volunteer do?
Volunteers are at the core of Greenburgh Nature Center’s community. They have helped us to inspire passion, curiosity and respect for our natural world since our doors first opened over forty years ago. We thank them for their vision and dedication, and we thank you for your interest in joining their ranks.
We offer volunteer opportunities for dedicated adults, high school and college students, school and outside clubs, and community groups to assist with a wide range of activities throughout the year. These include: animal husbandry; recycling and composting; assistance at weekend and community events; special projects; and more.
Working with Greenburgh Nature Center staff, volunteers will acquire valuable pre-professional training in the aforementioned fields.
