Volunteer Work Days with New Volunteer Orientations

Volunteering with Ozark Natural Science Center - Join our team and make a difference!

Our volunteers assist with outreach, admin projects, trail and grounds maintenance, education, and much more.

These Spring Volunteer Work Days from 9AM-12PM will help us prepare for the grand opening of our new ONSC @ Lake Fayetteville satellite location, where we will be able to make our high quality, hands-on environmental education programs more accessible to a wider audience.  

Volunteers can help with trail maintenance, invasive species removal, and general litter clean-up on the grounds and nature trails, as well as cleaning, painting, and other indoor preparations of the site. 

Bring your water bottle, work gloves, work boots, and tools if possible (including hand saws, pruners, loppers, and rakes). Extra tools will be provided.

Please feel free to share with friends and family. Registration required--ticket links are below.  (If you are only helping with the work day, the New Volunteer Orientation is optional, not required.)

If you are new to volunteering with ONSC, and interested in helping out beyond just work days, Register below to attend our New Volunteer Orientation from 9-10AM to find out more about ONSC, all of our volunteer opportunites, and the next steps to get you started volunteering with ONSC.
