Thank you for your interest in joining our Volunteer team at the Chicago Botanic Garden!

Our new volunteer intake has paused for the season. We will be sending an email to schedule phone interviews sometime after January 2026; all inquiries will be responded to in the order they are received. We ask that you please refrain from using our volunteer login, as it is for current volunteers only and not an application.

Please note that the Chicago Botanic Garden does not have opportunities for the following:

• Group
• Children or Youth, all volunteers must be at least 16 years old
• Court-ordered community service
• One-time or drop-in volunteer opportunities, except for corporate volunteers 

If you are inquiring about a volunteer opportunity for a corporate group, please reach out to Click here to show mail address regarding Corporate Group Volunteer opportunities.

Exclusive access for current volunteers. This login is not an application and is not open to prospective volunteers. Thank you for your understanding.
