Brookside Gardens is seeking volunteers to help visitors learn about the ecological importance of butterflies and teach them what they can do in their own backyards to help sustain these extraordinary insects. Docents will welcome and educate visitors, provide information about the species within the conservatory exhibit, and share in the experience of delighting and enlightening all who enter. Docents will also aide in the adherence to USDA enforced guidelines, preventing the escape of exotic butterflies into our native ecosystem by monitoring visitors and doorways and enforcing exhibit rules.
Open April 1 to September 7, 2026.
Daily shifts from 9am-12pm and 12-3pm.
Minimum of 10 shifts required.
Apply today and we will schedule a phone interview with you to discuss more. You will be able to sign up for shifts after the initial interview.
