The volunteer program at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens shines with its own history, tradition of service, dedication, and growth in numbers. The organization began in 1957 with a few dedicated civic leaders and now boasts more than 450 traditional volunteers that help keep Stan Hywet operating and thriving. Our volunteers come from many diverse backgrounds and interests and contribute on average 45,000 hours of service annually.  Volunteers fill a variety of positions throughout the property: administrative, gardening, museum interpretation,curatorial, wedding and special event support. Adult and youth volunteers may choose from full-time, part-time, special event and/or corporate volunteer experiences that best fit their schedules.  As a Stan Hywet volunteer, you receive many benefits such as expanding your interest in the arts, history and gardening; 10% discount in the gift shop and café; an invitation to our annual Holiday Appreciation Event after accumulating 50 hours of service; award recognition after accumulating 100 hours of service; and so much more!  In addition to these volunteer experiences, you can also join a specific volunteer group and/or affiliate group where each has its own unique leadership, history, interests, and engagement at Stan Hywet.
