The Earthplace community relies heavily on support from volunteers. There are a variety of ways volunteers can get involved here at Earthplace. Whether it is through regularly volunteering in our animal hall, day-of event assistance, corporate group service days or grounds maintenance; it all makes a huge impact in Earthplace’s success.
Join our passion in growing a sustainable community where conscious regard for the natural world guides individual action by becoming an Earthplace volunteer.

Please note: Volunteer opportunities are not always available, but are instead offered on an as needed basis. Since we operate a preschool at Earthplace, we must run background checks on all volunteers. There is a cost associated with running background checks that is the responsibility of the volunteer to cover. The cost associated with running background checks varies by individual. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out a background authorization form and the volunteer coordinator will be in touch with payment information.
