Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at the Gardens. RBG volunteers come from all walks of life but share one thing in common; our love of the Natural World and our desire to share it with others.

At RBG, you can choose the volunteer work that best fits your interests, skills and availability.

Join RBG’s Team of dedicated Volunteers

If you’re interested in volunteering at RBG throughout the year, we’d love to work with you to find a role that matches your interests, background and availability. There is no experience necessary to join this volunteer team, but volunteers are expected to commit to volunteering for at least one year.

By joining our team, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• work alongside experienced and welcoming staff, students and volunteers,
• learn from speakers with expertise in the Natural World and
• make a tangible difference in our community.

Our volunteers are very professional, committed and undergo an extensive onboarding process to join our team.

All community members interested in joining our volunteer team need to:

• Attend a volunteer information session (focused on providing an overview of the volunteer program)
• Have an interview
• Attend a volunteer orientation session (focused on customer service, health & safety and volunteer policies)
• Attend training specific to their role (for some volunteer roles these are formal workshops, for other roles, minimal training is required)
• Volunteer several times a month
• Commit to volunteering at RBG for at least the next 12 months
