Volunteer Opportunities
GARDEN & GROUNDS
Garden volunteers work as a group or on their own at their convenience. Just 1-2 hours a week has a big impact on the historic grounds. Tasks include planting, watering, weeding and pruning. Green thumbs optional and no experience necessary!
DOCENTS & TOUR GUIDES
Do you have the gift of the gab? Want to share your love of history? Becoming a tour guide is a great way to learn about Bristol and RI history while also meeting new people. Docents are provided with historical information and guidelines designed to help present the story of Linden Place to visitors.
GIFT SHOP
Volunteers in the gift shop greet and assist visitors and shoppers, answer questions about tours and upcoming events, answer the telephone, and help with other light office work, as needed. No experience necessary and training is provided. Scheduling is flexible and both weekday and weekend shifts are available.
We are also pleased to host one-day volunteer groups from local businesses, universities, churches, and other community organizations. To discuss volunteer opportunities and schedule your group's volunteer day at Linden Place, please contact info@lindenplace.org.
