This classification of volunteer will be assigned to the Vice President of Customer Relations. Guides will complete all manner of tasks associated with working with the general public upon entering the Cemetery/Arboretum. Consideration will be given to particular skill sets volunteers possess which may aid in specific task assignments. Due to the scope and the number of projects in this category of volunteerism a centralized location has been identified which will aid in the communication to this group. Ongoing group meetings will take place with all volunteers in this group in order to create best practices when confronted with particular questions from the public.
As Guides and Master Guides aid is given in developing the skills and knowledge to successfully lead groups through the 314 acres and 14 miles of roadway which offers interpretation on history, horticulture, architecture and art. Guides and Master Guides are encouraged to share their passions and understanding of the grounds with the public. In this manner differant guides give unique facets of the cemetery.
