Volunteer Program

Like to play and work outdoors? Love talking with and meeting new people? Enjoy caring for furry animals and other critters? Well, we may have just the opportunity for you to help us out while having fun, learning new things and meeting new people!

Sandy Bottom Nature Park and Bluebird Gap Farm are in constant need of volunteers just like you who help us maintain these wonderful facilities for the public's enjoyment. Volunteers also receive special privileges such as special discounts, surprise gifts and awards after reaching a certain amount of hours. Also, volunteers are able to attend our yearly Volunteer Thank You Banquet/Party, which is always a lot of fun!! The banquet gives you the chance to meet other volunteers you may not have known before and awards are presented for categories such as "Volunteer of the Year" and many others.

Please look over the information below to find the opportunity for you. We have three areas that you can help with:

  1. Current Positions
