Volunteer Fundraiser

Company Description

The South Bay Parkland Conservancy (SBPC) inspires and empowers communities to protect, tend, and nurture land, water, and life through advocacy, education, and hands-on stewardship. We envision a biodiverse and thriving planet, connecting communities with nature and each other for the well-being of all life, now and for generations to come. Established in 2004, SBPC works collaboratively with residents, local and state governments, and other environmental organizations to protect parklands for both current and future generations.

SBPC is looking to add a few key volunteer positions to help the organization grow in the next two years. Although these are volunteer positions, we want you to have a meaningful experience and be able to make an impact on the organization. This role requires 5-7 hours a week. A year-long commitment would be best.
