Volunteer Opportunities
EC Volunteers
Tanglewood relies heavily on volunteers to help with program enrichment, facilities upkeep and general administration. Volunteers are the backbone of Tanglewood and thanks to caring and selfless individuals and companies, Tanglewood is able to function year round in every capacity.
There are many ways to volunteer at Tanglewood - numerous opportunities for individuals, families, organizations, businesses, and clubs to give their time and energy - some help with programs or in the office, whicle others get their hands dirty with facilities. Some even let us use their land for programs. To sign up for any of the below opportunities, please contact Sarah Shepherd at 207 789-5807 or e-mail her at sshepherd@umext.maine.edu.
