SCAS Urgently Needs Volunteers!


For a very long time now, Space Coast Audubon has had well over 1,000 members, but has been kept running by  just a handful of volunteers who have worked tirelessly not only to bring you programs, newsletters, and field trips, but also to fight for conservation, perform bird rescues, and many other tasks that require dedication and time. We urgently need reliable volunteers to fill board and other positions that will keep the club going into the coming years. Our immediate needs are:

  • Bird Seminars: Go out into the community (including schools) and act as an educator and advocate for birding.
  • Greeter: Attend our monthly general meetings and  welcome newcomers, tell them about SCAS. 
  • Membership: Address any membership issues as they arise and act as a liaison with National Audubon when required.
  • Publicity: Help spread the word about our meetings, events, field trips, what we do, and who we are. Act as liaison with local media to encourage attendance at our meetings. 
  • Refreshments Host/Hostess: Organize the refreshments for our monthly meetings and bi-annual potlucks.
  • Field trip leaders: Work with our field trip coordinator to lead regularly scheduled bird walks.

Note that this is the last year for many important board positions; next year we will need a new president, vice president, and Limpkin/web editor. We need to start thinking about filling these important positions now if we want the club to continue doing the important work that we do into the future. Please contact any board member to volunteer.
