Applewood volunteers are valued members of the Ruth Mott Foundation team! As we adjust plans amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not currently accepting volunteer applications for the 2021 season. However, if you would still like to apply, we will keep your application on file and notify you when we are once again accepting applications.
Help guests enjoy their experiences at Applewood! Typical activities include welcoming and directing guests to program offerings, handing out surveys, or helping with program setup.
