Volunteer Opportunities at Keystone Heritage Park and Botanical Gardens
Come one, come all! We have a variety of volunteer opportunities to suit all interests and
schedules. You can volunteer as much or as little as you like, and once trained, you’ll have the
flexibility to work independently on certain tasks. We also offer scheduled events and workdays
where we need volunteers to help out.

Here are some of the volunteer roles available:

Greeters:

  •  Welcome visitors as they arrive at the park.
