Are you ready for a deeper commitment?
“Activism is my rent for living on this planet.” – Alice Walker
Do you…
- Display “Broadness” (fierce passion for wild land protection, humor, inclusiveness, open to diverse input)?
- Practice strong communication skills and have the ability to work with volunteers?
- Have a strong awareness of the current conservation challenges in your region, and what might be done to create change?
- Have prior conservation or wilderness knowledge, or a desire to learn and share?
If you answered yes to these, then a volunteer Broadband leadership position might be for you!
We help people all over the country start Broadbands, build membership, and create action. Each broadband has a leader or co-leaders that fuel the momentum of their teams by providing support, leadership, and resources needed to hit the ground running.
