Volunteers
Volunteers play an extremely important role at NPL.
Some supply specialized skills in subjects additional to those covered by the expertise of the permanent staff, while others help us to stretch our small budget by assisting in the routine work of the lab.
The people shown on this page are all volunteers, who work not for a salary, but simply for the satisfaction of getting involved in the work of the lab.
New volunteers are always welcome at NPL, whatever their level of expertise.

New volunteers are always welcome, whatever their level of expertise. Unlimited opportunities to learn compensate for the lack of financial rewards! If you would like to learn more about your local fossils, and can spare a few hours on a regular basis, please consider joining our active group!

The lab is formally open from about 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and is closed on weekends. Special projects such as the current Mass Inventory expand those work times.
Volunteers are asked to commit a minimum of 4 hours per week, with the understanding that other obligations may interfere from time to time.
Work schedules can be flexible, although we do ask that they be planned in advance. The jobs to be done are endless in number and kind, providing a great deal of variety.
