“What
you can do or think you can do, begin it. For
boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.” Goethe
Volunteer
opportunities abound! The initial
work to be done involves pulling weeds, building fence line, painting old barns,
contacting the public, raising funds, etc.
Eventually, the arts center, the children’s center, the farm and
gardens and animals will all need
the attention and time of caring volunteers. Imagine working at something so
varied, so vital, so fulfilling!
Aside
from the gratification and delight that come from spending time on the
invigorating activities sponsored by Omnia, there are more tangible benefits
associated with becoming a volunteer. Those
who volunteer on a regular basis will receive discounts on
workshops and activities sponsored by Omnia.
In addition, those who volunteer regularly are members of the General
Meeting and have the right to be heard and to vote on certain issues regarding
the management of Omnia’s projects. And
perhaps more importantly, as with everyone who enjoys what Omnia and our
volunteers have to offer, our volunteers are treated with attention, respect,
and gratitude. We are, after all, building this together for one another,
staff, volunteers, and visitors.
There
is so much to do! So much beauty to
bring to light in these ramshackle and forgotten places! Contact us if you’d
like to get involved.
