Is behind-the-scenes your thing? When you help us with tasks like mailings, data entry, and preparing training and teaching resources, you are helping us expand our reach.
With more than 160 properties and 8,300+ acres of open spaces protected by conservation easements, volunteers are critical to our ability to monitor and enforce our easements. Easement monitors visit the same property (or properties) annually, meet with landowners, observe its condition, and report back observations to the Land Trust.
Feel the pride when you help a visitor have an “ah-ha” moment as he or she learns something new about the amazing creatures in our tanks or how their daily life is connected to the ocean. History-lovers, share the social history of Odiorne with our guests.
SELT needs help in establishing and maintaining trails, removing invasive species, and keeping a watchful eye on our lands. Volunteers for this program visit our owned-lands on a regular basis and report back on observations and help with medium-duty management activities like trail clearing. Volunteers are also invited to participate in larger group work days…
There are many special projects that occur throughout the year, driven by a volunteer’s interest, knowledge, and skill. Volunteers garden, work on trail maintenance, sew, construct things, paint, and more. We’d love to talk to you about how your special talents can help move the Center forward.
Volunteers are needed to help with light office tasks, including the stuffing envelopes but also scanning, copying, filing, database entry, and related tasks. Volunteers are also needed for photography, outreach efforts, and fundraising events.
Do you love to talk with people and share your love of the outdoors? Do you know plant, wildlife, or geology identification like the back of your hand? Do you have oral histories about local properties to share? If so, the GOAT program is for you!
On the other side of the phone call or text message, people who are isolated, desperate, or suicidal find a caring listener. These compassionate people are Befrienders: teens (15+), students, professionals, and retirees from a variety of cultural, educational, and religious backgrounds who volunteer their time for our 24/7 Crisis Services.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with events, including our 5K and Breakfast for Hope, intern in the development office, assist with administrative tasks, or contribute in other ways.
Our Grief Support Services volunteers have been personally impacted by a loss to suicide and are at a place in their own healing which allows them to help others as they travel a similar path after a tragic loss. These volunteers facilitate peer support groups and participate in home visits.
