Volunteer to Make a Difference for Bird Conservation

SFBBO depends on more than 100 volunteers each year to help us conduct our research, share our data, restore habitat, raise money, and educate the community about avian science and bird conservation.

Due to the shelter in place advisories, many of our volunteer opportunities have been suspended, but there are still some opportunities to help in the field and a number of openings to help with remote data entry, environmental education, communications, and fundraising.

Please click on the links below to see updates about specific programs. Please note there is currently a longer wait time on the application process. Please contact outreach@sfbbo.org to learn more.

Community Science

​Do you like to collect data, watch birds, or spend time in nature? We'll train you to use science protocols and you help us conduct avian research.  
​

Habitat Restoration

Birds need habitat  to thrive. If you like to garden in nature, help us create and enhance wild spaces for passarines, waterbirds, terns, and plovers.

Environmental Education

Bird conservation happens when communities understand and appreciate birds. Help us educate and inspire Bay Area people of all ages to love birds.

Development and Comms
