Enjoy the beauty of this special place in Sonoma Valley while joining our wonderful community of volunteers. Volunteer with Team Sugarloaf and become an integral piece in keeping Sugarloaf Ridge State Park operating. Join us for an orientation on Saturday May 24, 1:00-3:00 pm to learn about the history of Sugarloaf, how Sonoma Ecology Center operates the park, and what volunteer opportunities we have. The orientation will take place at the Robert Ferguson Observatory classroom.

Volunteers play a vital role at Sugarloaf. We have a host of volunteer opportunities to restore and maintain this natural treasure and to help to keep Sugarloaf open to the public. Initial training is provided, with periodic docent enrichment events. We need volunteers to:

Become docents at the Visitor Center
Direct visitors at the entrance kiosk
Assist with data entry
Aid project research and grant-writing
Work on trail and park maintenance projects
Facilitate special events and parking
Spanish/English literacy and conversational fluency is a plus
View more volunteer opportunities and specifics in our website. Experience is not necessary but welcomed, as well as a willingness to learn and the desire to share that knowledge with our visitors. We ask for a minimum of 4 hours per month of volunteer service. Registration is required. Bring a notepad and pen, a reusable drink container for warm beverages, and dress in layers.

Attending a Volunteer Orientation is required to become a volunteer at Sugarloaf. English is needed for all positions. We are particularly in need of Spanish-English bicultural individuals! Please share this opportunity!
