The Mount St. Helens Institute, founded in 1996, connects people of all ages to Mount St. Helens and our natural world through educational programming designed to enrich visitors’ appreciation and understanding of the Pacific Northwest’s youngest and most active volcano.
We are proud of the many ways we connect people to the volcano they love, from outdoor youth education programs hosted at the Mount St. Helens Science & Learning Center, to expert-led field seminars and guided exploration programs, to meaningful volunteer opportunities across Mount St. Helens and the surrounding Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
The Mount St. Helens Institute is a 501(c) (3) private, nonprofit organization devoted to helping people understand and protect the volcano.
We consider ourselves to be purveyors of passion and our passion is Mount St. Helens
OUR MISSION: To advance understanding and stewardship of the Earth through science, education, and exploration of volcanic landscapes.
We love Mount St. Helens, and want to make sure that the mountain is accessible and healthy for those who visit the Mountain today, as well as 20 or 50 years from now. Conservation corps volunteers help us achieve this goal by volunteering for a variety of projects, some of which include: trail maintenance, invasive weed removal, building upkeep, habitat restoration, and more.
Volunteers MUST be at least 16 years old or be supervised by a parent or guardian if between ages 10 and 16; follow all safety policies and procedures identified by the project leader; follow Conservation Corps project directions and instructions as given by the supervisor. Time commitment is generally one day with a shift of 4-7 hours. Projects typically begin at 8:30 a.m. and end by 3:30 p.m. Most projects occur on weekends. Volunteers can support one or multiple projects. No prior experience or training is required.
