Greeters

Help the Conservancy meet the informational needs of Central Park's millions of annual visitors from all over the world. Whether they are from far-away places or are New Yorkers who use the Park regularly, many visitors need help navigating the Park or have general interest questions.

To become a Greeter, you must:

• Complete the initial screening and training processes, including a background check
• Be physically able to walk through various types of terrain
• Have an excellent sense of direction and a strong knowledge of Park features
• Have a positive, service-oriented demeanor
• Be willing to commit annually to 1 three-hour shift per week
• Have internet access to record work hours and communicate through email
• Attend refresher trainings as needed
  

Greeter positions include:

Kiosk Greeter
Kiosk Greeters are stationed in one of three kiosks throughout the Park. They greet visitors, give directions, answer Park-related questions, provide information about upcoming events, and teach good Park stewardship.

Area Greeter
As an Area Greeter, you will be stationed in a zone of the Park. Area Greeters perform the same duties as a Kiosk Greeter except they are mobile.

Anyone interested in becoming a Greeter must attend a Volunteer Information Session and complete an initial screening & training. Please note, we recruit for these roles as needed. There is limited availability for new volunteers.

Interested? These projects require you to attend a New Volunteer Information Session. We post New Volunteer Information Sessions on an as-needed basis. If we have one coming up, you’ll see a sign-up link listed below. Don’t see a sign-up link? It means we’re a-okay for now and you should check back at a later date.

Thanks for your interest in volunteering. Our recruitment for this program is on pause for the winter. Get on the list to be notified about the first information session of spring 2025 by clicking here or check out one of our available Community Volunteer Days here.
