Volunteer
Friends of the Ney Nature Center
Please consider supporting our work at the Ney Nature Center (NNC) with your time and talents. Friends of the Ney Nature Center would like to invite you to join them as a volunteer for the NNC. Volunteer opportunities range from leading sessions to serving snacks at one of our day camps to tree trimming and trail maintenance on workdays. You can choose to volunteer as much or as little as you would like.
As a Friend of the NNC, you will receive notification of volunteer opportunities allowing you to pick and choose when and what you’d like to do. In return, the NNC would like to create development opportunities for volunteers. We will have monthly programs to provide resources and training for interested volunteers.
For more information or to begin receiving our Friends of the NNC monthly newsletter, which lists upcoming volunteer opportunities and development programs, please e-mail Becky.
We have recently become a partner with the RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program). Not only does this help expand our volunteer program but it allows us and the volunteers being recruited through this program access to volunteer related resources. If you would like more information about the NNC’s RSVP partnership please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Volunteers come in all ages!!! Check out these upcoming volunteer opportunities for the young and young at heart!
