Cincinnati Nature Center provides volunteer opportunities geared toward engaging youth with the natural world. We believe volunteering in nature invites young people to create positive change while gaining hands-on conservation experience alongside their peers.

Cincinnati Nature Center supports young people in their journey to fulfill service hour requirements for high school graduation and various honor society programs. When maple season arrives, our youth volunteers assist us in collecting data on the maple trees in our sugarbush, and in early spring, we begin sprucing up the grounds for the coming summer.

Cincinnati Nature Center offers a unique opportunity for corporate groups, community-minded groups, and local high schools, eager to support our mission. Group volunteer efforts are proven to strengthen teamwork and build upon community engagement.

Dedicated Nature Center staff will work side-by-side with your group to restore native habitat by removing invasive plant species. This is a purpose-filled, meaningful opportunity to care for our land, make a positive impact, and have fun in the process.

If you are interested in planning a group volunteer day or would like to learn more about group volunteer opportunities, email our Volunteer Services Team at volunteer@cincynature.org or by phone at (513) 965-3348.
