Get Involved

NSAS is an all-volunteer organization. To make our programs successful, we need membership involvement in all of our activities. Donating even a few hours of time can help a lot. There are all sorts of fun ways to get involved – from helping out with a classroom visit, bird walk or special event, to monitoring your own area for breeding birds, to helping find new and better ways for our Audubon chapter to make a difference.

Current Volunteer Needs

Opportunities abound. We will try to keep the list below up-to-date with our current volunteer needs. Contact any Board member about the opportunities listed below (unless a different contact is listed).

  • Outreach & tabling at various events Volunteers are needed to help with designing exhibits & flyers, helping with PR, outreach at our welcome tables, and leading beginning bird walks for families. Only a couple of hours per volunteer and always great fun!
  • Assist with publicity & communications. We could use help in getting more exposure in the local news for our events and activities. And, use your skills with social networking to help 'tell our story" and gain new friends.
  • Educational programs Help our Education committee with presentations & outings with youth groups; Assist with our Beginning Birding programs at libraries.
  • Membership Help in welcoming new members -- send out postcards, or make welcome phone calls; Greet members at programs. OR - help maintain membership records..
  • Consider a Board position. Officer elections are held in May, but you can participate now! Board Meetings are usually held on the last Wednesday of the month and members are welcome. Please contact a Board member for more information.
