Volunteers

The Nature Shop and Gallery is open seven days a week and relies heavily on volunteers to take care of the customers. Each volunteer works a three and a half hour shift from either 10:00 to 1:30 or 1:30 to 5:00 so it takes many volunteers to fill all of the weekly time slots. If you would like to volunteer a few hours of your time one or two days a week, fill out the form below or call Sally at 814.836.9107.  Stop by the gift

shop and talk to the volunteers who are there today! Join the group.
