Volunteer

Exciting volunteer opportunities are available at the Cache Creek Nature Preserve. There are several different jobs that volunteers can perform depending on individual skills, training, and experience. Much of the work is outdoors, but we often have a wide and diverse array of jobs that need to be done. 

We ask that volunteers have a desire to work cooperatively with staff and other volunteers, and be mindful that they will often be dealing with the public on behalf of the Conservancy. Each potential volunteer will be asked to submit a Volunteer Application form and, once accepted, will need to complete a Volunteer Liability Waiver and Agreement. 

We appreciate the commitment of our volunteers in supporting our goals. Most importantly, we want each volunteer to feel that he or she has made a positive donation of time and talent to the Conservancy. 

Thank you for considering a volunteer position for the Cache Creek Conservancy.
