Greenburgh Nature Center is currently looking for adult volunteers to assist with animal care and engaging public visitors in our live animal museum! Weekday availability (Mon-Thurs) a must! There are morning (9-1pm) AND afternoon (1-4:30pm) shifts open.
Morning volunteers help to clean cages and tanks and provide fresh water for our indoor collection of small reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and birds. Once the nature center opens to the public, morning and afternoon volunteers present these animals to visitors to see up close and touch. As well as inform them about our animal collection.
Willingness to work with ALL of our animals, including our invertebrates, snakes, and lizards is not necessary but certainly a plus! On site training is provided.
More opportunities with Greenburgh Nature Center
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

The property is a significant wildlife habitat refuge, both for indigenous species and for the hundreds of species of migratory birds that use it as a resting place on their spring and fall travels.
The GNC hosts birthday parties and special programs for groups of all ages on a wide range of environmental topics, either here or at off-site locations. We also offer numerous outreach and on-site environmental education programs for children, adults, and families.
