Volunteering FAQs
Who is eligible?
Volunteers must be current SER members, either students or recent graduates (in the past 5 years).
Why should I volunteer at SER NAC?
Volunteering at the SER NAC can refresh and increase your own knowledge and professional networks in the ecological restoration field. This includes skill building (e.g., communication, problem solving, teamwork), education & professional development, contribution to the restoration community, and networking. Volunteers also attend the conference for half the price of an early bird equity ticket (i.e., $300)!
