VOLUNTEER
Park-McCullough is in need of volunteers interested in opportunities in admissions, docent tours, gardening, special events, preservation, collections, and marketing. Volunteers are a critical component of our success and our most excellent ambassadors.
Beyond the benefit of caring for and supporting an invaluable community resource, you’ll receive the benefit of a Sustainer Membership after 16 hours of time given. We hope you’ll join us, and look forward to learning about your interests! Please complete and submit our Volunteer Application below!
Docents, Archives/Collections, Photography/Videography, Visitors Center & Gift Shop—our needs are endless!
We are looking for passionate, friendly, and dedicated volunteers to join our team. Docents help inspire visitors to discover, explore, and strengthen connections to the mansion and the history it represents. They, along with the Visitor Center/Gift Shop welcome team, are excellent ambassadors who interact and engage with the public every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the open season. Our Collections Committee works behind the scenes to help us keep our extensive archives organized and well-cared for. Those with talents for photography and videography help us to document it all—front- and back-of-house, people, places, and things!
Garden & Grounds
The picturesque grounds are one of the main attractions of the Park-McCullough House. The grounds are open for visitors even when the house isn't open for tours. The Formal Garden is a focal point for guests and weddings. Visitors use picnic tables and the well-kempt lawns for gathering with friends and family. Window boxes, planters, flower beds, and more need the attention of those with ‘green thumbs!’ Help us to keep it all looking picture-perfect!
Cultural Programming and Events
One critical component in keeping our property active and dynamic is cultural programming. We offer events throughout Spring, Summer, Fall and into the colder months, as an imperative aspect of our mission. Music, theater, and educational and social programming, draw in necessary support and build the community around us. We are seeking volunteers to help execute the events on our calendar. Outdoor movies, yoga on the lawn, croquet, wine tastings, afternoon tea, cigar & bar, and the arts club, to name just a few. Are you willing to help with set-up and break-down? Interested in planning and executing? We need your help!
Repairs/Preservation
As you can imagine, maintaining an 1865 Victorian mansion is no easy task. Our repairs and preservation volunteers help us keep the buildings in tip-top shape. We seek volunteers with various skill sets—painters, builders, plumbers, electricians, etc. There is always work to be done to the mansion, barn, and playhouse that requires qualified help from the experts! Do you have trade skills you are willing to lend?
Housekeeping
With over 20 rooms for public viewing, there is plenty of square footage that must be maintained. Our housekeepers play a vital role within the Park-McCullough team. Not only do they keep the historic building and collection show-ready, but their work is necessary to maintain the invaluable structure and contents.
