Volunteering

Volunteers make Woldumar's mission possible.

Woldumar Nature Center is a self-funded 501(c)3 non-profit environmental education center. Volunteers are a vital component to the regular operation of the organization.

Volunteer opportunities abound at Woldumar Nature Center! We currently need volunteers to assist with day-to-day operations and special events. Please contact Woldumar Volunteer Coordinators GinnyB or Essie Solano at (517) 322-0030 and let us know if you are available to help. Together we can make a difference!

There are a broad range of volunteer opportunities in which individuals and groups can participate. Community Service hours can be accomplished within a regularly scheduled program or on an individually-scheduled basis.

Some of the areas of work include:

  • Grounds And Facilities Maintenance
    Trail work, gardening, display/exhibit work
  • Program Assistants
    School & community programs, day camps

    Cultural/historical programs in period costumes
