Volunteer with The Battery Conservancy, the nonprofit that designs, builds, and sustains the historic Battery, the 25-acre park at the southernmost tip of Manhattan. Opportunities for individuals include:
Gardener: Gardeners work side-by-side with our professional horticulturalists to plant, weed, divide, prune, rake, and perform the tasks required to maintain The Battery’s
beautiful perennial gardens.
Greeter: Greeters are available at information tables from 10:00am to 1:00pm on select weekdays and Saturdays, March through mid-November. Greeters answer questions from visitors about directions, park information, and The Battery Conservancy.
Office and Events: Volunteers will complete occasional administrative and event production tasks with The Battery Conservancy staff.
Tour Guide: Tour Guides lead free hour-long tours to inform the public about The Battery’s rich history, landmarks and monuments, SeaGlass Carousel, 195,000 square feet of beautiful perennial gardens, and much more.
