VOLUNTEERS & STAFF
It takes a dedicated Arboretum staff and many generous volunteers donating their time and
talents each year to make Stems a success. We are thankful for the Arboretum staff and all of the volunteers and the work they do for Stems.
Volunteering at Stems is an outstanding way for corporate sponsors to expand the impact
of their support ? either as individuals or as a
group.
Work days preparing equipment for the event take place during the two weeks prior to Stems and are terrific for team-building activities.
Set-up days ? on the day before and day of Stems are perfect for teen community service
projects - lots of tables and chairs to set up supervised by our trained set-up leads.
And at the party, volunteers are needed to
greet guests, pour wine, assist restaurants, and provide guests with information.
