Volunteer Opportunities

Blue Deer Center

The Blue Deer Center would not exist without the support of the volunteers who brought it into being and have kept it going. If you feel a calling to contribute to the work of the Center in any way, we would love to have you join us. Hundreds of people have given of themselves to support the important gift to our people that is the Blue Deer Center. We welcome your participation in this effort to help our people.

At the Blue Deer Center
We would love to have you stay at the Center during one of our programs and volunteer to help with kitchen duties and/or guest services. Room and board are included in this opportunity to experience this special place and contribute to the success of our programs. Contact volunteers@bluedeer.org.

From Your Own Home
Our community of volunteers spans the globe; you can help from wherever you are. It is amazing how many vital tasks can be done far from the Center. We have ongoing needs for help with phone calls, research, data entry, and participation on committees. Or perhaps you have a skill that we don’t even realize that we need. Contact us with your interest and ideas: volunteers@bluedeer.org .

Volunteer projects
There are many exciting projects going on at the Blue Deer Center right now. Volunteer your expertise from afar or come to the Center and help make it happen.

Maintenance and Repair
There’s an ongoing need for volunteer help to keep the Center beautiful and functional. People with skills in carpentry, plumbing and electrical work, as well as folks who just want to help out are all very welcome! Contact info@bluedeer.org.

Adopt-a-room
The project of making the Blue Deer Center feel like home continues. We welcome your creative touch in decorating the indoor and outdoor spaces of Center. Contact Liz Parker: rlpsm@hotmail.com to discuss your wonderful decorating ideas. Add your personal touch and bring the Center to life.

Gardens and Grounds
The Garden and Grounds Planning Committee works with the interface between the humans who visit the Center and the land. A large part of this work has to do with the plant people. This includes the wild plants (native and non-native) and plants who have developed relationships with humans over time (culinary crops, medicinal herbs, and ornamentals). If you love to work with plants or stone in the landscape, and wish to help with the gardens and grounds; please email Linda Felch: lindafelch@gmail.com.
