Volunteers have been and remain central to our success. Volunteers lead outings, teach classes, share nature with the public, help at community events, build/design exhibits and educational materials, greet visitors, work in the gift shop, help with social media, take pictures, and much more. We are grateful for our volunteers that generously donate their time to support our mission.

Whether you’re a new or a continuing volunteer, we’d like to invite you to an upcoming volunteer orientation, where we cover the basics of what you need to know and do. And for current volunteers, it will include an overview of our new volunteer management system, Helper Helper.

Here are some topics we’ll cover:

  • ·       Background on NHSM history
  • ·       Meet the staff
  • ·       Descriptions of programs
  • ·       Upcoming opportunities
  • ·       Volunteer benefits
  • ·       Introduction to the Helper Helper volunteer management system
  • ·       Time to tour the exhibits and ask questions

Attending this orientation session is a required first step for new volunteers. If you’re a continuing volunteer, THANK YOU. Attending this volunteer orientation is not required, but you are invited to attend especially if you want to learn the new volunteer management system, Helper Helper.
