The Oberlin Heritage Center has a lot of visitors in the summer, and we’re also fortunate to have a lot of robust plant life right outside our doors. That’s why we need Outdoor Volunteers to keep our campus looking fresh! Outdoor Volunteers will occasionally weed pathways and patios, mow the grass, pick up litter, clean fences, wash signs, and assist with other routine summer tasks on the property. The work done by Outdoor Volunteers enables OHC visitors to focus on local history and enjoy themselves.

Outdoor Volunteers should be dependable and physically able to complete the tasks outlined above. A regular schedule, or even a one-time commitment, for individuals or groups may be arranged, and volunteers should come in appropriate clothing for working outdoors. If you have favorite gardening tools, bring them along!
