Nearly 100 volunteers donate their time to the Hatfield Visitor Center. Our volunteers help with a wide array of duties, including:

  • Engage and educate the public in the Visitor Center
  • Lead summer estuary tours
  • Work with visiting field trip groups
  • Behind-the-scenes projects, such as creating new public programming
  • Help with exhibit development

As long as you are a lifelong learner over the age of 18, we welcome you to apply!
