Our Volunteer Docent Program is a volunteer level that can be reached by individuals that are interested in having a more autonomous experience representing the Arboretum and our missions. All Docent activities require onboarding, additional trainings, training time as a 'Shadow' to learn from current Docents and Arboretum Staff, and a commitment of at least 20 Docent specific volunteer hours a year. Examples of Docent opportunities include working as Guide for our Field Trip Experiences, leading guided nature hikes, leading night hikes, outreach, and more.
This is an ongoing opportunity that would require you onboarding as an Arboretum Volunteer and signing up for opportunities through our own volunteer portal.
