Help Orange County ’ s Visitors in 2025!
By: Orange County Communications Department
Did you know the Orange County Visitor Center, housed in the historic Orange Train Depot, is primarily staffed by volunteers? Volunteer Travel Counselors help support our local economy and provide an initial example of Orange County hospitality to tourists. Volunteers simply need a desire to help, a positive attitude, a love of Orange County, and a few spare hours each month. Scheduling is flexible, and can be arranged to avoid conflicts with other commitments. Some volunteers choose to be scheduled on a regular shift, while others fill in as substitutes when needed. Experience is not necessary. While helping others discover our attractions, volunteers themselves learn a great deal about our beautiful county. Many learn new tidbits of historical information, find a new favorite vintage of wine, or discover a unique shop they hadn ’ t noticed before. As a thank you for their service, our Travel Counselors enjoy regular familiarization trips, events, and delectable appreciation luncheons. Interested? Simply reach out to the Economic Development and Tourism Office at (540) 672 - 1238 to get started.
