Calling all volunteers!

Whether your passion is trail maintenance, gardening, education, photography, fundraising, or writing, we have an opportunity just for you. Volunteers make a wonderful contribution to our success, and we couldn't have made it this far without the time and energy of numerous individuals. With our Centennial swiftly approaching, we need more volunteers than ever to help see us into our second century of conservation!

If you're interested in volunteering, please call Janelle at 914.232.1999 to hear about our current opportunities, and don't forget to download a volunteer application!

We have internship opportunities for high school, college, and post-graduate students.

Internship opportunities are available year-round in areas of habitat management, restoration, banding and field surveys, Audubon At Home (native and bird friendly vegetable gardens), fundraising, and communications. Past interns have said "working for Bedford Audubon was incredibly satisfying" and "a way to get valuable experience as well as to make great friendships."
