Volunteer: Lorton Prison Museum Docent

WHAT IS THE LORTON PRISON MUSEUM?

The Lorton Prison Museum featuring the Lucy Burns Gallery is the history museum for the Workhouse Arts Center - the former site of the Lorton Correctional Complex (or the DC Prison). LBM tells the 91 year history of the prison site, with a special focus on the Women's Suffrage Movement - as the original prison, the Occoquan Workhouse, held over 70 of the suffragists who picketed the White House in 1917. LBM has galleries dedicated to the Suffrage Movement and general prison history, along with a preserved cellblock. Learn more at www.workhousearts.org/lorton-prison-museum

 

WHAT IS A DOCENT?

Docents are volunteers who provide educational services for the museum visitor and are sometimes called tour guides, interpreters, and volunteer educators. The role of a docent is three-fold:

They serve as hosts, to provide a welcoming atmosphere. In many cases they are the museum’s “front-line” or main human representatives. They serve as interpreters of the museum’s galleries, helping to give the visitor a deeper understanding and appreciation of the exhibitions. Docents also assist in safeguarding the collection by a watchful presence in exhibition areas.

The interpretive or educational role of the docent is the most important and challenging aspect of the job. To be effective, a docent cannot just lecture at an audience. Docents must strive to actively involve visitors in the interpretation, giving them the tools of visual literacy. Docents should provide a broader understanding of an exhibition’s concepts and provide a context for the collections with which they are working. Docents should strive for objectivity. In their role as interpreter a docent must be careful not to force value judgment or opinions on a visitor. In addition, a docent must be sensitive to visitors’ differences – learning style, cultural backgrounds, age level, and special needs.

 

WHAT MAKES A GOOD DOCENT?

A sincere and genuine interest in people of all ages. A love for and excitement about learning and teaching. Attention to detail and accuracy. A sense of flexibility and cooperation. An attitude of tolerance and respect for all people’s points of view.

QUALIFICATIONS & COMMITMENTS

All docents will receive training from museum staff and current docents. After completing training, docents are expected to commit to volunteering at the Museum for two years (or longer), and to volunteer for at least two museum shifts per month (2-4 hours shifts on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays). Periodically throughout the year, docent meetings, trainings, and activities will be scheduled, and docents are expected to attend as many as possible. New docents do not have to have a museum or history background to apply. A genuine interest in the history LPM, a willingness to learn, and an interest in engaging the public is a must!

APPLY

If you are interested in being a Lorton Prison Museum docent, please sent a brief letter of intent, describing why you are interested and your background to the museum at museum@workhousearts.org. We look forward to working with you.

Volunteer: Trail Ambassador Program

Volunteering is an excellent way to connect with new people, learn new skills, and enjoy the outdoors for health and well-being. The Leopold’s Preserve Trail Ambassador Volunteer Program offers an opportunity for independent outdoor volunteering with a flexible schedule, making it an ideal role for those with busy lifestyles.


Leopold’s Preserve is a 380-acre park located near Haymarket, VA. Our trails are free to access and open to the public daily. They are enjoyed by thousands of visitors annually, including hikers, runners, dog walkers, and wildlife enthusiasts.


Trail Ambassadors assist the Park Manager in caring for the Preserve’s seven-mile trail system. Ambassadors are assigned a section (or sections depending on capacity and demand) of the trail to monitor and maintain. We ask Ambassadors to walk their section periodically and keep a record of any issues: take a picture, note the location, and provide details of any problems before reporting back to the Park Manager. Ambassadors serve as our “eyes and ears” on the trail and ensure maintenance issues are logged and completed.


Responsibilities

Walk your assigned section of the trail two or three times each month. Complete minor repair or maintenance tasks along your section of the trail including cleaning signs, trimming overhanging vegetation, and picking up small amounts of debris or litter. Immediately report any emergencies, such as a fallen tree blocking the trail. Provide friendly guidance to visitors you encounter along the trail, including answering questions about the Preserve and sharing information about our rules. After walking your section of the trail, file a report through our online portal. This will quickly alert our staff about the maintenance issues you identify.


Ready to get started? To join the Leopold’s Preserve Trail Ambassador Program, please contact us at info@whfarmfoundation.org, or call (571) 358-2098. We’ll share more details about the program and the date of our next Trail Ambassador training session. Once you’ve attended training (about 1 hour in length), you’ll be all set to monitor the trails! Learn more at https://www.leopoldspreserve.com/trail-ambassador.


We welcome both individuals and groups to join us as Trail Ambassadors. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to participate. For volunteer groups, at least one member must be 18 or older.

Volunteer: Would you like to help DOGS and CATS get ADOPTED?

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is looking for volunteers that would like to be Cat Adoption Coordinators!  We are a foster-based rescue in the VA, MD, DC area that pulls kittens and cats from high kill shelters across the rural south and places them in foster care to get adopted!  We need volunteers willing to train to become Dog and Cat Adoption Coordinators and help us get these wonderful animals adopted! 

Interested in learning more - reach out to volunteering@luckydoganimalrescue.org and we will send you info on our next AC information session/training!

About the Adoption Coordinator (AC) role:

What is it?

Adoption Coordinators are the main advocates for our dogs and cats!  They not only work to match our animals with potential adopters, but they also serve as a critical resource to our foster parents. ACs choose the animals they want to be responsible for, ensure they are properly posted online, and discuss them with interest adopters. ACs review ALL applications that come in for those animals -- and if they are not previously pre-approved, ensure that we complete a vet check and landlord check (if applicable), conduct a phone screen, and, when needed, find a home visit volunteer.


Time Commitment?

Adoption Coordinators are one of our most important groups of volunteers.  Typically, ACs dedicate anywhere from 5-15 hours a week to Lucky Dog. Having regular access to email is super important!

Adoption Coordinators are also required to attend at least 2 adoption events per month and 1 transport per month. This is a great opportunity to meet your dogs and cats and chat with their fosters!


Training Needed?

All Adoption Coordinators go through a virtual AC training and shadow at one of our Sunday adoption events. Once they have completed that, they will go through a mentoring phase before they work on their own.

Volunteer: Join Rainbow Riding as a Volunteer Horse Leader

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center in Haymarket, VA, is a very special place that serves children and adults with physical, developmental, and mental health disabilities from all around northern Virginia. 

Each week, approximately 70 students come to us for equine assisted activities, from Tuesday through Saturday, learning how to ride and take care of their horses.

Riders with mental health challenges develop emotional regulation and coping strategies, helping them manage anxiety and stress more effectively; riders with physical disabilities experience increased motor skills, better balance, and coordination through structured riding activities, which help foster greater independence in daily life; and all our students develop increased confidence and resilience as they bond with horses and engage in goal-oriented tasks.

The supportive environment we nurture at Rainbow encourages social interaction, reduces feelings of isolation, and benefits the wider community by fostering inclusivity and better understanding. Our team of six PATH Intl. Certified Instructors plan and supervise each lesson, but every single session needs the help of one or more volunteers; they are the backbone of our program. Last year, our volunteers dedicated 2,000 hours of time to our equine therapy program. 

Our primary volunteer need is for Horse Leaders. Their role is to tack up and prepare our horses for their lesson, lead them during it, and take care of them afterwards. Leaders should be experienced horse people who are able to read a horse’s body language, control their own energy and body language, have good communication and listening skills, and physically be able to walk and/or trot.  Students may also have one, two, or more volunteers acting as side walkers, who support them physically and emotionally dependent on their individual needs.

Rainbow students form a bond with their team and it’s beneficial for them to see regular faces, week in, week out. That’s why we ask our volunteers to try to commit to a regular time slot each week, during a day and time that works for them.  We value all our volunteers, whether they come to us for a couple of hours per week, or a couple of afternoons as some do. And our volunteers reap huge rewards seeing their students undergo life changing improvements, learning more about the profound impact of equine assisted therapy, and themselves enjoying the emotional benefits of being around our calming horses. 

Rainbow volunteers are hands on members of the team, and also contribute by serving on the all-volunteer board of directors, supporting fundraisers, and help out with other projects. Full training is given and they work closely with Rainbow Instructors and Volunteer Coordinator.

We have a beautiful indoor arena, outdoor arena, miles of trails, and an activity loft, allowing us to support our students whatever the weather!

Organization: Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center in Haymarket, VA, is a very special place that serves children and adults with physical, developmental, and mental health disabilities from all around northern Virginia. 

Each week, approximately 70 students come to us for equine assisted activities, from Tuesday through Saturday, learning how to ride and take care of their horses.

Riders with mental health challenges develop emotional regulation and coping strategies, helping them manage anxiety and stress more effectively; riders with physical disabilities experience increased motor skills, better balance, and coordination through structured riding activities, which help foster greater independence in daily life; and all our students develop increased confidence and resilience as they bond with horses and engage in goal-oriented tasks.

The supportive environment we nurture at Rainbow encourages social interaction, reduces feelings of isolation, and benefits the wider community by fostering inclusivity and better understanding. Our team of six PATH Intl. Certified Instructors plan and supervise each lesson, but every single session needs the help of one or more volunteers; they are the backbone of our program. Last year, our volunteers dedicated 2,000 hours of time to our equine therapy program. 

Our primary volunteer need is for Horse Leaders. Their role is to tack up and prepare our horses for their lesson, lead them during it, and take care of them afterwards. Leaders should be experienced horse people who are able to read a horse’s body language, control their own energy and body language, have good communication and listening skills, and physically be able to walk and/or trot.  Students may also have one, two, or more volunteers acting as side walkers, who support them physically and emotionally dependent on their individual needs.

Rainbow students form a bond with their team and it’s beneficial for them to see regular faces, week in, week out. That’s why we ask our volunteers to try to commit to a regular time slot each week, during a day and time that works for them.  We value all our volunteers, whether they come to us for a couple of hours per week, or a couple of afternoons as some do. And our volunteers reap huge rewards seeing their students undergo life changing improvements, learning more about the profound impact of equine assisted therapy, and themselves enjoying the emotional benefits of being around our calming horses.
