Nature Center and Programs Assistant

Save to Favorites

The Fairfield County Park District open's its nature center on Fridays and Saturdays as well as providing free programs and events throughout the year. These programs may be educational, recreational, artistic, or just for enjoying the outdoors and may take place at any of our 14 unique locations. Whether you enjoy hiking, teaching, making art, history, or otherwise engaging the public in a shared love for nature, becoming Nature Center and Programs Assistant may be the perfect fit!

General activities may include, but are not limited to:

• Opening and closing the nature center
• Greeting visitors and sharing information
• Program/event set up
• Helping with crafts and hikes
• Assisting with school field trips
• Organizing educational materials and supplies

There are no qualifications necessary to become an Nature Center and Programs Assistant aside from possessing a great attitude and enjoyment of sharing a knowledge of nature with program attendees and visitors of all ages. Volunteers may be exposed to inclement weather, biting insects, noxious plants, and other risks associated with being in an outdoor setting.
