Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge is looking for volunteers to staff the information desk in the Prairie Learning and Visitor Center. Volunteers will take on a regular, weekly position from 12:30 to 4 p.m. Tuesday or Thursday afternoon.
This position offers a unique opportunity to serve the community and visitors from around the globe by greeting and orienting them to the refuge, answering basic questions, and talking with our guests. If you like to help people while learning more about Iowa’s natural heritage, this is a great chance to do so right here in our community.
Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome, and no experience or special knowledge is necessary. The refuge will provide training and orientation and a staff member is always present to help and to answer questions.
To learn more or to give this opportunity a try, contact the refuge’s volunteer coordinator, Megan Wandag at (515) 994-3400 or megan_wandag@fws.gov.
