Opportunities
We do not have any year-round openings at this time
There are many ways to get involved, from volunteer workdays to event staff or short-term projects to volunteer positions where you can make a long-term difference. Ready to get your hands dirty?
Volunteer Workdays
We host volunteer workdays about once a month. During each workday, we tackle a few projects, such as maintaining trails, painting buildings, clearing brush, installing docks on our waterfronts, or processing firewood to heat cabins, allowing you to pick a project that sounds interesting to you.
Volunteer Coordinator
Volunteers are the backbone of our organization! As our volunteer coordinator, you will work with Deer Lake Outdoor Center’s to staff to recruit new volunteers, connect volunteers based on skills and interest with available activities, organize monthly volunteer workdays, track volunteer efforts, and recognize volunteers for their impact.
Trail Manager
Do you have a passion for hiking? As Trail Manager, you will work with Deer Lake Outdoor Center’s staff to assess trail conditions, design trail repairs and new trails, teach others how to build and care for trails, and organize volunteer events to keep the trails open for everyone.
Program Leaders
If you have an outdoor skill you want to share with others and you’re as passionate as we are about welcoming everyone outdoors, we want to hear from you! Guide a hike, introduce others to canoeing, kayaking, or rock climbing, offer a program about local ecology or history, or more!
