WSPC is accepting new volunteers into its Greeter-Guide Program, a program where you interact with Park users, helping them learn about the exciting horticulture, history, events, and culture that the Park has to offer. From our resident hawks to the historic Arch, the Park has many stories to be told!
The WSPC Greeter-Guide Program provides an opportunity for interested volunteers to become an official Washington Square Park Docent. All guides are greeters, but not all greeters choose to participate in the additional training and orientation needed to become a guide.
Greeter-Guides work weekend shifts from April-October. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until 4/14. Volunteers will be notified by 4/19. Orientations will take place in April.
