Foothill Conservancy booth, 2019 Amador County Fair

Foothill Conservancy is looking for an unpaid, long-term, dedicated, and enthusiastic office support volunteer. This is the perfect opportunity to learn firsthand about nonprofit operations and contribute to the great work we do. For more information, please review the job description (see below). If you’re interested or would like to know more, please send us an e-mail describing why you want to volunteer for us.

We also need volunteers to help with everything from putting events together to stuffing envelopes. If you’d like to help out, please send us an e-mail with your contact information, and let us know what kind of work you’d like to do. Thanks!

If things go according to plan, we’ll need volunteers to help at our annual dinner and our annual Mokelumne River raft trips, help create and work at our Amador County Fair booth in late July, and help with our annual Mokelumne River Cleanup in September. We hope you can lend a hand. It'll be both rewarding and fun.
