Volunteering

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We are not accepting applications at this time. Please check back, as we will update this page when applications are again available.

Volunteers participate in almost every area of the National Arboretum’s work. Volunteers assist in gardens, laboratories, research fields, the herbarium, and historical collections. We ask most of our volunteers to contribute a minimum of four hours weekly but encourage interested individuals with less availability to still contact us.
