Volunteer Opportunities

Document Actions

Volunteers needed to have fun, mingle and socialize — and, of course, to do good works at the same time. Join like-minded individuals in serving the Berkshire Chapter, the environment, and all outdoors enthusiasts.

Many areas of expertise are required to fulfill chapter needs. Join us to help out with a one-time or short event or for a longer-duration role. The only required skill is an ability to enjoy yourself. For further information contact our Chapter Chair (see Contacts box in the left column).
