Become a Junior Volunteer

Junior volunteers are an integral part of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. Engaging youth in the areas of horticulture, special events, and education provides a unique experience that students can apply to their schooling and the workplace. Participants will understand the importance of giving back to their community and gain knowledge of all things botanical.
