Have Fun Volunteering

The Sierra Club is a grassroots organization, and volunteers are essential to the health of the organization. Our goal is to provide any member who wants to help out the opportunity to do so. Volunteering is a great way to learn about the issues we're working on, have fun and meet other active Sierra Club members.

Other volunteer opportunities are available, most requiring a commitment of just a few hours a month.
