The Highlands Center needs your help to continue the work of providing quality outdoor science education to our community. Volunteers are the foundation of our excellence; we rely heavily on your life skills and time to maintain our sterling reputation and provide a unique and valuable service.

Help children and adults discover the wonders of nature and become wise caretakers of the land. If you have a few hours a month or a few days a week to volunteer, we have an opportunity for you.

Special training is required for some positions.

Ongoing Options Include

• 2nd and 4th Grade Docents - Work with elementary school children leading, guiding and facilitating outdoor science exploration.
• Highlands Hosts - Work in the Benson Family Nature Store, greet visitors and introduce them to the Center.
• Highlands Naturalists - Interpret and share the stories in nature with others during guided walks or at stations. This is an opportunity to inspire curiosity in others and provide them with the opportunity  to care for the many species with which we share this land (requires a 12 week training course).    
• Schoolyard Habitat Assistants - Work at school sites throughout the area assisting with the organization and leadership of science lessons in the Habitat gardens
