Thank You for Your Interest in Volunteering!

Volunteers play an essential role in helping Beech Creek thrive, and serve our community. Whether you're passionate about nature, education, conservation, or simply giving back, our Volunteer Program offers meaningful ways to get involved.

 

As of Spring (April) 2026, we have a NEW, robust Volunteer Program, designed to provide clearer expectations, better communication, and a more rewarding volunteer experience​

TWO WAYS TO VOLUNTEER

Leisurely Volunteering

Sign up to volunteer when it’s most convenient for you! Assist Beech Creek with regularly needed, yet simple roles during our operational hours. (Butterfly House Flight Attendant, Cart Driving, Visitor Center Assitant, etc.)

NEW! Specialized Volunteer Teams

Join a team that reports to a specific manager with a set list of responsibilities. Gain insight and experience from our staff experts directly in a specialized focus area. (Will undergo an interview process with our team's managers.) Teams will meet every Thursday & Saturday from 10:00am-12:00pm.
