Volunteering
The Environmental Discovery Center (EDC) has many exciting and rewarding volunteer positions. As a volunteer, you will have the unique opportunity to be a part of our ever-expanding and dynamic environmental educational facility. Volunteers receive a EDC t-shirt (after completing 20 hours of service) and an engraved leaf on the Benefactor Tree at the EDC (after completing 40 hours of volunteer service). If you enjoy the outdoors and sharing your love of nature with others, then you will definitely enjoy volunteering at the Environmental Discovery Center! Learn about nature, gain experience, and build your resume. Come once a month or once a week - the sky's the limit!
Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age (with a parent/legal guardian's permission) to apply.
Completed applications can be sent to edc@florencecountysc.gov
