Volunteering

Members of the Friends of the Santa Maria Valley Railroadhave a unique opportunity to participate in rail activities sponsored by the Santa Maria Valley Railroad such as, Open House at the Depot, Speeder Events, Dinner Train Excursions and Rail Fest at the SMVRR. Volunteering at these events can be interesting, educational, and very enjoyable! To that end, we have established a volunteer program that will allow a potential volunteer to acquire the necessary training and knowledge to be an effective, knowledgeable and SAFE volunteer. This will not only enhance the experience of the guests of the particular rail event, but will also help insure a safe and pleasurable experience for the volunteer!
