Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities Include:
DOCENT
At the Hermitage, our docents are the face of the museum. There is no experience required to become a docent. We are looking for individuals who love to learn and share their knowledge. Docents must be enthusiastic, dependable, and flexible. We are looking for both museum and wetlands & garden docents.
SPECIAL EVENTS
We are looking for reliable individuals to help out at our outdoor movies, concerts, and other events by doing things like helping to set up, clean up, park cars, and greet guests. This is a great opportunity for individuals looking to volunteer on a one time basis and enjoy a movie or concert while doing it.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
No experience is necessary because you will have the unique opportunity to learn how to identify plants, propagate, weed, deadhead, mulch, and water by working closely with our Curator of Gardens and other knowledgeable staff in 12 acres of beautiful gardens.
GARDEN DOCENT
Garden docents serve as representatives of the Hermitage and support the museum by educating individuals about the wetlands, environment and gardens through our Wetlands Enrichment Tours program and other garden offerings.
