Ongoing Volunteer Opportunies


There are numerous ways to get involved with the Golden Gate Audubon Society. From habitat restoration to writing letters to elected officials on conservation issues, our volunteers are instrumental in conserving the Bay Area for generations of birds, wildlife, and people. If you would like to volunteer for any of these opportunities, contact the person listed with each opportunity. For more information, contact Jennifer Robinson, GGA Volunteer Coordinator, at jrobinson@goldengateaudubon.org.


Make Your Voice Heard

Our team of Armchair Activists commits to sending letters to policy makers at least once a month to make sure our voice is heard on critical environmental issues—from protecting Bay Area habitats to supporting policies that help birds throughout the U.S. Join the Armchair Activists and speak out for wildlife.


Lead a Field Trip, Share a Ride

Golden Gate Audubon offers more than 100 field trips each year for birders of all levels. Our volunteers lead trips to Bay Area parks and wildlands, as well as to other parts of California. We encourage ride-sharing on all local trips. We also offer trips to other parts of the U.S. and to destinations around the world. You can become a leader, arrange a carpool, or suggest a trip.

Work with Students in East Oakland

Golden Gate Audubon's trained volunteers work with elementary students in East Oakland classrooms and on field trips to introduce the students—and their families—to the wonders of birds, wetlands and wildlife and work with them to restore habitats. Learn more here.


Join a Conservation Committee

We have two active committees that work on projects in San Francisco and the East Bay. Members of our San Francisco Conservation Committee and East Bay Conservation Committee organize habitat restoration projects, monitor government agencies, and advocate protection of wildlife habitats. Two special project committees focus on creating the Alameda Wildlife Refuge and promoting environmental education in Latin America.
