Thank you for your interest in volunteering! We appreciate those who dedicate their time, energy and skills to our mission. Without their generosity, achieving our goals wouldn't be possible.

The benefits of being a volunteer at the Nature Center are endless. Many of our volunteers enjoy connecting with their community and knowing they are making a positive impact on the environment. Volunteering provides an opportunity to meet new people and expand your wealth of knowledge. Volunteers, 13 years of age or older, are welcome at all levels of participation. Group volunteers are also welcome but should to call to discuss current opportunities.

All volunteers are required to fill out an application, followed by an interview and background check. We strive to help you find the right volunteer placement to fit your interests and availability. The application and interview help us get to know you better and highlight possibilities that are present at a given time.

Approved volunteers active within our program are able to sign-up for upcoming opportunities by clicking on an event below. You will be asked to complete a profile with contact information in Volunteer Hub in order to directly sign-up for those opportunities. Questions can be directed to Kristina Arthur at volunteer@shakerlakes.org or by calling (216) 321-5935, ext. 237.
