Become a part of ECHO’s volunteer family!

Whether you’re looking to learn more about the care of Lake Champlain, connect with your community, pursue your interests in STEM education, teach kids about bear and moose, or build your resume, ECHO has something for everyone!

ECHO is a nonprofit, and we depend on our amazing volunteers to engage with our visitors, assist in caring for animals, support our staff in their important work, and help us communicate our mission to engage families in the wonder of nature, the joy of scientific discovery and the care of Lake Champlain.

What do volunteers do at ECHO?

  • Support animal care staff in the care of our many species of turtles, including neonates (baby turtles)
  • Guide kids in exploring the wonders of moose and bears
  • Connect with the public about important water quality issues in the Lake Champlain Basin
  • Teach kids to program miniature robots in our Maker Space
  • Participate in delivering seasonal activities designed to enrich science learning in our community (past activities have included a solar eclipse viewing party, snowball fling, and more!)
