Current Volunteer Opportunities:

Habitat Ambassador
Help others learn how to garden for wildlife at community events. If you enjoy gardening, talking to people and helping others learn how to make a difference, this opportunity is for you. Habitat Ambassadors commit to a minimum of 10 hours of service in the first three month after training. NWF provides all training and materials. Sign Up!

Habitat Steward™ Host
Help people in your community create and restore wildlife habitat. This involves taking a correspondence course to learn how to lead trainings in your community. You will then train Habitat Stewards and support the group throughout their years of service. Hosts are organizers, facilitators and mentors. Hosts don't need to be habitat experts, but must be able to pull together a team of guest speakers and other resources to educate Habitat Stewards. Sign Up!

Habitat Steward™
Take an intensive, hands-on training facilitated by a Host. We ask that Stewards make a commitment of providing 30 hours of service to NWF within a year of completing their training. A small sampling of the projects Stewards have accomplished includes:

• Consulting with neighbor about filling habitat needs in their backyard.
• Speaking at civic association meetings about the importance of wildlife habitat.
• Writing articles for local newspapers.
• Distributing habitat information at a local festival.
• Helping volunteers at a local school to certify as a Schoolyard Habitats® site.

Because Hosts are volunteers, it is not possible for NWF to offer a Stewards training in every community. Volunteers interested in habitat projects are encouraged to begin involvement in another NWF volunteer opportunity until Stewards training becomes available in their hometown. Sign Up!

Global Warming Ambassador
As a Global Warming Ambassador, you will outreach to the general public through presentations and community events, As an Ambassador, you will introduce NWF and global warming concepts, how it affects wildlife habitat our country as well as your state, and what persons can do on an individual level to confront global warming. Sign Up!

Behind the Scenes Volunteer
In order for our programs to succeed, we often look to volunteers for help. As a Behind the Scenes volunteer, you can provide administrative and project support either at one of our offices or from your own home. Sign Up!

Thank you for your commitment to the environment and your interest in volunteering.
