Volunteer Opportunities

Docent Guides
Docent Guides are needed to lead school groups in the Gardens and in the children’s classroom. Docents are trained and are given support by staff. This is a great opportunity for those interested in working with children and sharing a love of gardening and nature awareness with them.

Hospital Leaders- Horticultural Therapy & Theurapeutic Gardening
Volunteers make visits to Duke Medical Center Pediatric Units. They bring botanically related activities to pediatric patients and their families. This group also gets together periodically to share ideas, experiences, and to have advanced training.

Summer Youth Leaders
Youth are invited to become involved in our summer programs. We need a teenage helper for two weeks of our summer camp, and leaders in our Story Time Programs. Youth interested in working with younger children, learning about the Gardens, and willing to share an excitement for nature are welcome.


For more information about any opportunities or programs please call 668- 1708
