[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Become A New Jersey Audubon Volunteer Together We Can Work To Keep New Jersey Green! Make new friends and do your part to help make New Jersey a better place while working with a great group of people–there’s so much you can learn by volunteering for New Jersey Audubon! You may enjoy working outside on our beautiful grounds while watching the ever-changing show at the bird feeders. Pick the brains of the experts while hauling birdseed! Browse through our libraries while stuffing envelopes. Play a part in determining legislative outcomes by helping prepare critical materials at our Trenton Policy Office, or pull on your boots to gather water and soil samples in support of our Citizen Science Program. Our resources are at your disposal when you volunteer! The amount of time you devote is up to you – whether it’s for one day, or a year.  Our volunteer opportunities (like the annual migrations) are sometimes seasonal and always arrive in “waves.” We will keep your application on file and do our best to match your interests and talents with the jobs at hand.
