Volunteering

Volunteering at the Chula Vista Nature Center

Volunteers are a vital part of the team effort that operates this facility. The Chula Vista Nature Center strongly encourages persons age 16 and older to become volunteers.

Volunteers generally work 2 to 4 hours per week.

You can become a Volunteer!
Come to the Nature Center in person or call the Programs Manager at (619) 409-5904 for an application and volunteering information. In the application, we invite you to detail your experience, interests, and other important information, and then make an appointment for an interview and orientation. Volunteers are trained on a one-on-one basis by our crew leaders.
