Volunteering at Fairchild<\/span><\/h2>\n

Volunteers let a few hours of their time blossom into a world of new experiences while working in Fairchild’s beautiful environment. Fairchild volunteers have been an integral part of the Garden\u2019s history\u00a0and contribute to every aspect of our operations.<\/p>\n

Volunteers learn new skills, make a positive impact in the community and the world and advance Fairchild\u2019s mission through their hands-on support of our programs. Fairchild volunteers\u00a0have access to a wide range of classes and training opportunities. All active Fairchild volunteers who give a minimum of 30 hours of service a year automatically become part of the Friends of Fairchild,\u00a0which hosts lectures, field trips and social activities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Volunteer Requirements<\/h2>\n

Volunteer jobs require a commitment of 3-4 hours per week for a minimum three months. These are typically done with one shift per week on the same volunteer day, although some volunteer areas are more flexible than others. The minimum age for Fairchild Volunteers is 14.<\/p>\n

There are short-term opportunities for those that would like to do a one-day volunteer activity, or for students requiring community service hours.<\/p>\n

Once you are a Fairchild Volunteer, it is essential to participate in Core Class Training as well as additional training for specific volunteer areas.<\/p>\n

Please contact jpeterson@fairchildgarden.org<\/a> for more information on becoming a volunteer!<\/p>\n

\n

Volunteer\u00a0Information Sessions<\/h3>\n

Volunteer\u00a0Information Events are held\u00a0throughout the year to inform Fairchild members and the public about volunteer opportunities and requirements.\u00a0Following the application and interview process, volunteers are\u00a0selected for\u00a0programs based on their\u00a0experience, skills and\u00a0availability.\u00a0In certain program areas a second placement interview is required.\u00a0The types and numbers of\u00a0openings\u00a0for volunteers vary considerably throughout the year.<\/p>\n
