New Volunteer Onboarding
We're so glad that you decided to join us in 2026! Your background check has cleared, your Safety of Minors training is complete, and you have registered to the Horticultural Core Course.
Before You Start
Below are a few housekeeping items that we recommend tackling before you officially get started in January. These will help you hit the ground running next year.
Primary Contacts
This is your Support Team during your internship. Add these names to your email contact list/address book. You will be getting email and phone messages from them this year and you don't want your email's spam/junk filter to delete them.
