About the Role
Volunteer Hosts are an integral part of The Bishop’s Ranch community and team. Hosts provide gracious hospitality to all our guests, volunteers, residents and staff. The Volunteer Host’s primary responsibility is to attend to the needs of guests and groups while they are at The Bishop’s Ranch. The host is “on call” and responds to guests’ needs and questions as they arise. The volunteer host position is a great way to meet more of the guests who love The Bishop’s Ranch, serve with The Ranch staff, and give back to the place that is so important to so many of us.
We ask that all hosts in this program commit to a minimum of two hosting assignments per year.
