Do you enjoy meeting people? If your answer is “YES!”, the Maryland Welcome Center Program under the Office of Tourism Development is expanding its Welcome Center Volunteer Program. There are 4 state-operated Welcome Centers in Maryland located in Charles, Worcester and Howard counties.
Travel Counselors greet visitors, assist with directions, hotel accommodations and itineraries, greet motorcoaches and work with tourism industry and private sector representatives. Volunteers are trained as Travel Counselors, have the opportunity to participate in Welcome Center Programs such as familiarization tours, new product and customer service seminars, and team meetings.
Volunteer Hours – The Welcome Center Volunteer program calls for a minimum of four hours, but no more than eight hours per day. The Welcome Centers operate four days or six days per week seasonally, and volunteers participate anywhere from one to six days per week.
Hours of Operation – All Centers operate from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday through Sunday until Memorial Day. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, centers are open six days per week. All Centers are closed on all state holidays as well as December 24 and 31, 2009 and May 28, 2010.
Please join us – We are a proud and friendly group of tourism professionals that serve as Maryland’s front-line ambassadors.
