Ruffner Mountain Docent Training/Orientation

September 13th, 2025
1214 81st St. South

Hello Volunteers!

We're so excited you've expressed interest in joining our network of passionate volunteers. This initiative will help us greatly in continuing to cultivate Ruffner Mountain as a family-friendly and historically-conscientious greenspace.


What you can expect from this orientation/training is a crash course of information including hand-outs of basic park information, FAQ's to expect from visitors, and historical preserve facts and stories you'll be able to inform visitors about. We'll also discuss the format of this volunteer position, available shifts, and the pertinent resources that will be at your disposal. We will plan to have coffee, donuts, and fresh fruit for everyone so please try to arrive on time so we can get started promptly.


For any questions feel free to email/call me (sloan@jeffcogreenways.org/(901)299-3039). We're very excited to get this volunteer opportunity rolling and are very appreciative of your interest and commitment ahead of time.
