Are you good with people and do you like to share knowledge? Are you looking to help out during the holidays? Then volunteering during Meadow Brook Hall's annual "Holiday Walk" might be perfect for you! Volunteer hosts are stationed throughout the historic house to provide guests with information and direction as they tour the decorated Hall. In depth knowledge of the estate and its history is not necessary, but some training and an orientation is required. Day and evening shifts are available, and the time commitment varies depending on shift. Please contact us for more details.
