Accokeek Foundation is in search of volunteers to assist with community outreach throughout the year.
Outreach volunteers will attend community events to help promote the Foundation's mission, programs, and events.
Depending on the nature of the outreach event, volunteers may be teaching about a topic related to the Foundation's mission, or they may be providing event guests with information about the Foundation and its programs.
Possible events may include: tabling at public festivals, visiting partner organizations/schools, attending CFC and other workplace giving charity fairs, and/or recruiting new members and volunteers at Accokeek Foundation events.
Training will be provided to all volunteers. Volunteers should have excellent communication skills and should be comfortable speaking to people and engaging with event audiences.

Mission Statement
According to the Foundation's 1957 charter, "It shall be the purpose of this Corporation to preserve, protect and foster, for scientific, educational or charitable use and study for the benefit of the people of the nation, the historical sites and relics, trees, plants, and wildlife rapidly disappearing from an area of great natural beauty along the Maryland shore of the historic Potomac River."
Description
In partnership with the National Park Service, the Accokeek Foundation stewards 200 acres of Piscataway Park. Situated directly across the Potomac River from George Washington’s Mount Vernon, this land was protected to preserve historic views and now serves as an outdoor classroom for educational programs about land conservation, historic preservation, sustainable agriculture, and environmental stewardship. Entertaining tours and performances, customized experience based activities, and service learning opportunities help visitors connect to the land and to one another.
