Basic Information

• Most of our regularly scheduled volunteer positions require specific time commitments based on the needs of each position.
• Regularly scheduled adult volunteers must pass a background check. Volunteering can't begin until the background check has been cleared. 
• No background check is required for those who only volunteer for one-day events and community science programs.
• Prior experience is not required to be considered for a volunteer position. Interest and availability are much more important than experience, and volunteering is a great way to learn a new skill. Orientation and training will allow you to succeed!
• Volunteer opportunities for people needing to fulfill court-ordered community service hours are not available. 

Volunteer Opportunities 

Volunteers have historically provided support across different programs and departments, such as:

• Blair Audubon Visitor Center

• Land management
