As a nonprofit, the Dunwoody Nature Center relies on our community of volunteers to help us keep our park beautiful. We welcome individuals, students, corporations, service organizations, and other groups to help with various projects and special events.

Do you have opportunities that are ADA accessible?
Yes! We will try to provide volunteer activities that are appropriate for all situations and abilities. Just let us know what you need, and we will do our best to accommodate!
Unfortunately, the park trails are not ADA accessible.
Do you have indoor opportunities?
Sometimes! If you are looking for indoor activities we will try to accommodate, but this will be based on the needs of the Nature Center at the time of the request. We usually keep to a small group of indoor volunteers at one time, so we may be able to make indoor accommodations for select members of your group.
