Discovery Center volunteers having fun making birdhouses

Become a Discovery Center Volunteer!

If you enjoy the forest and would like to help visitors learn about our local mountains, 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 and students learn about the forest through our naturalist table, nature walks and school programs. 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
  • Information Specialists
  • Naturalist
  • Gift Store Assistants
  • Nature Walk Guides
  • Weekend activities assistants, such as gold panning, animal tracking and nature crafts
  • Assist with special event, including concerts and festivals
  • School and scout program leaders

We teach you everything you'll need to know!
