Get Involved

Tremont is where curiosity comes alive—where a simple walk in the woods can shape a lifetime of learning.

Every day, people of all ages step into the Smokies and discover something that changes them: a deeper sense of wonder, a new connection to the natural world, or the confidence to ask questions and explore. But none of it happens without support. Whether you give your time, your resources, or simply show up, you become part of something bigger—a movement to connect people with nature, curiosity, and each other. Ready to make a difference? There’s a place for you here.

We depend on contributions to provide educational experiences that lead to life-changing discoveries and inspire the next generation of nature’s stewards and champions.

Throughout the year, our dedicated volunteers assist with a variety of activities such as event planning, fundraising, community science, maintenance projects, school shopping, and more.

Our annual special events are a great opportunity to get to know Tremont Institute and have fun while also providing the support needed to bring more kids to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Have another idea? Let’s talk! Whether you’re looking for a unique way to give back, want to partner on a project, or just have questions about how to get involved, we’d love to hear from you. Tremont is built on connection—and that includes you. Contact us to start the conversation.
