Volunteer Enrollment Now Open

The Highlands Center for Natural History is currently accepting applications for new volunteers. Our Spring enrollment period runs March 1 through April 10.

Volunteers play an important role in supporting the Highlands Center’s mission by assisting with nature-based education programs, welcoming visitors, supporting events, and helping with daily operations on campus.

The volunteer program accepts new applications twice each year, during Spring and Fall enrollment periods.

Current Volunteers

Returning volunteers are asked to recertify their commitment annually in the fall.
