The Iris Griffith Centre Docent Program gives community members the opportunity to assist the Iris Griffith Centre, learn about the local natural history of the Sunshine Coast, gain valuable experience, and make a meaningful contribution to the community and the natural world.

What does a docent do?
These are volunteers who help acquaint visitors with the Centre and its displays and its history, point out trails, explain the history of the reclaimed wetlands or take visitors down to the lagoon. If you have a particular interest such as birding, botany, mushrooms etc. you could share these but really a love of the outdoors, an interest in people and a desire to do something that in the long run will help educate and preserve the amazing natural surroundings we live in are all you need.

Time commitment?
Half a day a week or every other week.

What will you get out of it?
Come on your own or with a friend for a partner and share your enthusism for the natural world with others! Be part of a remarkable community resource! Make a difference!
