Volunteer

 

The Garden is pleased to announce its new 2025 Volunteer Program.

The 海角社区 Botanic Garden (UABG) is developing a roster of volunteers that we can draw upon during the 2025 calendar year (January 1 through December 31, 2025) to complement existing rejuvenation and growth efforts. Our volunteer program allows us to harness the time, effort and interest of amazing people like you! Volunteers help us create an environment that nurtures well-being, connects plants and people, and cultivates positive long-term relationships with the Garden.

Garden Ambassadors (working with the Guest Experience Team) maintain a presence throughout the Garden to provide guests with a wonderful experience and foster an atmosphere of respect for the plants and features that make up the Garden.

Garden Stewards (working within the Horticulture and Infrastructure Team).
Support special efforts to elevate the physical platform of the Garden and execute showcase activities such as spring plant out, Luminaria, concerts, festivals, and theme days. Volunteers are invited to work alongside the Horticulture and Infrastructure team members on high-priority campaigns.

Additional volunteer opportunities may arise in support of special activities or initiatives.

 REGISTER SOON! We will be conducting virtual 15-minute interviews from 1 to 3 p.m. on March 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2025.  Additional dates may be added if there is a large expression of interest from the community.

  • Sunday, April 6, 2025
