Lend a smile and brighten the day of a child. Do you love the beauty of plants, flowers and nature but don't have a green thumb - no green thumbs required! Volunteer as a Children's Garden Rainbow Welcome Cart Volunteer with the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Provide a friendly welcome to guests entering the garden. Use a counter to count guests. Interact with the general public and provide directions and answer general questions. Act as a safety monitor watching for fall risks and children who wander away from their grown ups. Make sure children do not enter or exit the garden without their grown up. Operate a hand held radio to call for staff assistance when needed. This volunteer opportunity requires volunteers to serve in conditions that may include high heat and humidity.
