Volunteer at the Arboretum

Welcome to the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens volunteer page where prospective volunteers can sign up to become a volunteer and current volunteers can sign up for assignments, update contact information, and much more.  Friends of the Arboretum and Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens staff depend on volunteers to make the Arboretum the vibrant and beautiful destination it has become in metropolitan Kansas City. Volunteers do not need prior knowledge, only a desire to learn. Volunteer training sessions are held often.
