VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We are looking for people who enjoy nature, and who are comfortable with children and adults. Sometimes the Center is quiet, but at other times it can be a busy hive of activity, especially when classes visit for field trips, or when camps are in session. In addition to help on our trails, in the gardens and on light carpentry projects, we especially invite office help. Three hours a week really helps a lot! You can choose to work one day a week, Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. until Noon or Noon to 3 p.m. Volunteers answer phones, re-shelve books in the library, and occasionally help with mailings and preparing materials for craft activities. The schedule is flexible, and we always try to tailor our requests to the interests of individual volunteers. Our small friendly staff is fun to work with: the Hitchcock Center is an upbeat place. If you would like to volunteer, or want more information, please contact Susan Heitker, Center Coordinator, (413) 256-6006 or susan@hitchcockcenter.org. Garden Volunteer Work Day Come join our crew of volunteers and get our gardens in shape for the coming season! Bring work gloves and hand tools. You don’t have to know a weed from a peony. We will point you in the right direction; and if you do have some gardening skills, so much the better. Please call
(413) 256-6006 to let us know you are planning to come and help!
