Student opportunities
at the Arboretum include volunteering, internships, work-study positions, free lectures, research, weeding, and use of the Arboretum library.
Internships and volunteer positions provide an opportunity to learn in a wonderful environment and to enjoy the camaraderie of the student group working and volunteering at the Arboretum. Because of the quality of the collections and the beauty of the site, visitors come from many countries each year to see the gardens. Attend the lecture series or pot-luck slide shows for additional educational experiences in a friendly environment. Energetic, self-starting students are ideal for these positions.
Volunteering: Usually a 3-hour minimum for a shift and at least two shifts a month. Or you may just volunteer on the events that appeal to you, for example at a plant sale or concert.
Employment:
