Celebrating our Incredible Volunteers.

At Meadow Brook, volunteers are the heart of our mission, making a meaningful impact on our daily operations. Their passion, energy and dedication breathe life into everything we do.

From docents, hosts, museum store attendants, to the Garden Club, Squires, and Naturalists, the talents of our 300+ volunteers keep Meadow Brook poised and thriving—preserving its legacy while creating memorable experiences for every visitor.

Our annual Volunteer Dinner is a special night to celebrate our incredible volunteers and to present Meadow Brook awards for service.
