    Description

    Visitor Center Host - Saturdays

    Summary: Staff the refuge Visitor Center on Saturdays (10 AM -4PM).

    Description: Work with another volunteer to staff the front desk at Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. Staff will not be present in the building on Saturdays, so Saturday hosts are required to undergo a background check before starting. During your shift, you will:

    • Greet refuge visitors and answer their questions about refuge wildlife and recreational activities.
    • Keep the Visitor Center tidy and restock brochures and flyers.
    • Track visitation.
    • Answer the phone.
    • Operate videos upon request.
    • Help with office tasks like shredding papers or folding brochures.
    • Optionally, open the Grebe's Nest Nature Store and manage sales during your shift.

    How to Apply: To apply, or if you have questions about the volunteer program or other available opportunities, please email deerflat@fws.gov.

    Clarification: Please note that submitting your application through this platform does not guarantee automatic enrollment for a shift. After you apply, we will contact you regarding the next steps in the process.
