Duck Derby Volunteer (June-September)
About Mass Audubon
Mass Audubon is the largest nature-based conservation organization in New England. Founded in 1896 by two women who fought for the protection of birds, Mass Audubon carries on their legacy by focusing on the greatest challenges facing the environment today: the loss of biodiversity, inequitable access to nature, and climate change. With the help of our 140,000 members and supporters, we protect wildlife, conserve and restore resilient land, advocate for impactful environmental policies, offer nationally recognized education programs for adults and children, and provide endless opportunities to experience the outdoors at our wildlife sanctuaries.

About This Position
Volunteer will work closely with the Duck Derby Coordinator on organizing/executing tactical details for the APWS biggest annual fundraiser.
Attention-to-detail, good interpersonal/organizational skills and the ability to work with a large team are key. In addition to working with Duck Derby Coordinator, you will have the opportunity to interact with sanctuary staff, interns, AmeriCorps and other sanctuary volunteers, supporters and donors via e-mail, phone and in person. The two weeks before the derby is especially labor-intensive, but hours are flexible. (See www.massaudubon.org/duckderby for derby details.)
