Welcome, New Volunteers!
Ready to become a certified Chadwick Arboretum volunteer*? After watching our 30-minute volunteer info session recording, (Click here to open), please complete these next steps:
- Complete the Become a Volunteer Today application
- Try out a volunteer session with a staff member that acts as a "meet and greet" and allows you to become familiar with our volunteers, staff and gardens.
- Read the Volunteer Handbook
- Create an account on Hands on Connect
- Need instructions? Read some instructions here or Watch a video tutorial
- Complete a fingerprint background check, typically about $37.00.
- Complete and return a Photo Release and Release of Claims Form
*Note, if you believe you will only volunteer about once a month, or for a single event like our Spring Plant Sale, you can be a "Short Term Helper" and only complete step 6.
