Volunteer at Owl Brook Hunter Education Center

Teach the Past - Shape the Future

Owl Brook Hunter Education Center LogoVolunteers of all kinds help to make the Owl Brook Hunter Education Center a success. Instructors are needed to teach the programs in three mandatory courses: hunter, bowhunter and trapper education. Other volunteers can help Owl Brook by assisting as: range supervisors, trails and grounds maintenance crew, interpreters, activity leaders/assistants, receptionists and much more. No matter what amount of time you can give or in which role you choose to participate, you will be a valued asset to the center.

The mission of Owl Brook is to promote hunting and trapping, as well as to educate individuals in the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to become safe and responsible hunters, trappers, and stewards of the state's natural resources. Owl Brook volunteers the play a vital role in presenting this message to visitors and ensuring that the heritages of hunting and trapping are passed onto the next generation.
