Holden Arboretum Seeks Volunteers

The Holden Arboretum is accepting applications for volunteers for the fall months. This unique experience offers individuals the opportunity to share their knowledge and love of the outdoors. Holden understands that volunteers will commit a great deal of time and energy to Holden, but the rewards of this commitment are the satisfaction of helping others increase appreciation and understanding of horticulture and the natural world.

School guide
Become a volunteer school guide and lead groups of curious children through Holden’s magical world of trails, ponds, fields and lush gardens. This is a great way to give to the community and treat yourself to a great outdoor experience this fall season. All hands-on, this opportunity does not require lecturing, plus volunteers will share their experience with like-minded adults in a friendly and inviting atmosphere.

VIP Guide
Volunteer Interpreter Program guides enjoy leading tours on foot or by tram. Knowledge of horticulture and a love of the outdoors is a plus. Volunteers receive expert training on Holden gardens and collections. Share your love of nature with other like-minded adults in a warm and friendly setting.

All volunteers receive training and guidance from Holden experts. Training sessions begin in August. If you are looking for a fun and meaningful way to spend the colorful and exciting fall months, Holden is the place to be. Applications for guides are being accepted now.
