Some people enjoy volunteering with a friend or two, or meeting new friends.

Fans of Downton Abbey will enjoy volunteering at Filoli. As a Filoli volunteer, one can spend a few hours every week or two in this Gentleman's 654-acre Estate and take a step back in time. Volunteers get behind-the-scenes looks at the elegant Georgian mansion and world-famous Garden and are also able to participate in Filoli’s special events if desired. Filoli is where parts of the TV series Dynasty were filmed plus more than a dozen movies, including "The Game," "Joy Luck Club" and "Heaven Can Wait."
