Volunteering

Not at all. Plenty of our volunteer roles — event setup, community science, habitat work, behind-the-scenes support — don’t require any birding experience. If you want to learn along the way, we’ll pair you with someone who can show you the ropes.

Nope. Volunteering is open to everyone. That said, becoming a member is an easy way to stay in the loop and support the chapter, and many of our volunteers do both.

As much or as little as you’d like. Some volunteers help with a single event a year; others serve on the board or lead multiple field trips each season. Tell us what works for your schedule and we’ll find a fit.

Yes, we love it when they do. Community science projects like the Great Backyard Bird Count and habitat planting days are especially family-friendly. Just let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.
