Volunteer

As a volunteer, you are a vital member of the Institute’s team. You can share your time and talent in so many ways. We will work with you to choose the right volunteer position at a time that meets your needs. Most positions require little to no background and training is always provided. Several times a year, the Institute hosts volunteer open houses where you can come and learn about what it’s like to volunteer here and receive a tour.
