Volunteer

Operation Toy Train is a non-profit organization that is 100 percent staffed by volunteers. Our active volunteers come from all walks of life and have varying levels of experience, from those who have never been on a train before all the way up to active professional railroaders.

There are a variety of ways to get involved, ranging from coordinating toy collections to railcar maintenance. We are always looking for new volunteers to help organize and staff our new runs at geographic locations outside of our normal volunteer base. Our more experienced staff is happy to offer on-the-job training to new volunteers in whatever subject they’d like to get involved in. Note that all volunteers working on or around our railroad equipment must be members of TOYX, Inc. for insurance reasons.

If you are interested in volunteering for Operation Toy Train, please contact us at info@operationtoytrain.org and let us know what experience you have and what you’d like to get involved in. We’ll put you in touch with the right project coordinator to engage your skills, interests, and abilities to provide an enjoyable and rewarding experience and keep you coming back year after year!
