Volunteer
The Tillamook Forest Center invites you to consider volunteering your time and skills to help make the Center a memorable place for visitors. Whether assisting with programs, meeting and greeting visitors in the exhibit gallery or on the trails, working in the gift shop and at the reception desk, or helping behind the scenes, volunteers bring their own special insights and know-how to the Tillamook Forest Center team.
Following an intake interview, volunteers will receive orientation and training related to their duties. A position description is created, and a volunteer agreement is developed specifying time commitments and areas of interest. Volunteers work closely with staff.
A limited number of “camp host” style full hook-ups are located at the Tillamook Forest Center to facilitate volunteers who are interested in staying on site.
