Volunteering

Volunteer

Discover Life in America (DLIA) is always in need of volunteers.  We are a volunteer-based organization that has a variety of needs.  Volunteers have contributed significantly to the success of the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) since the inventory began through the use of field work, education and outreach, and financial support.  DLIA could not continue to function without the use of our dedicated volunteers and supporters.

Why Volunteer for DLIA?

• Work in a fun, friendly, small work environment
• Contribute to the largest "science project" in the Smokies
• Gain new job skills / maintain existing job skills
• Meet Park personnel, local business owners, scientists from across the country
• Make new friends

Volunteers work in five main areas:

• Field Work
• Clerical
• Education/Outreach
• Fundraising
• Computer/Technical
