Flamingo Gardens is a botanical treasure and a wildlife sanctuary, and is visited by guests from around the country and the world. We currently need friendly volunteers with a love of history to give tours to guests at our Historic Wray Home. This is a great opportunity to meet people in a beautiful environment.
Wray Home guides should be able to commit to a weekly schedule of one morning from 10:30 to 1:30, or one afternoon from 1:30 to 4:30. We are open 7 days a week. Help is also needed with the historic archives, researching and inventorying the collection.
Currently seeking volunteers for Sunday afternoons, Monday mornings, Tuesday mornings and afternoons, Wednesday afternoons, Thursday mornings and afternoons, and Friday mornings. If a weekly commitment isn't for you, we also have opportunities for as-needed substitutes.
Please feel free to contact me us any questions. Volunteers@flamingogardens.org
