Contact Julie Ferreira at julief501@gmail.com.
Join us on Meetup.com to stay in the loop with all future events! It's a good way to make new friends and connect with like-minded people who share your interestsJoin us as we organize and lead outings (hikes, biking, paddling and more) and events (film screenings, talks, festivals) that support the goals of the broader Sierra Club.
Outings Leader
Outing leaders take people outside to explore and enjoy our natural environment in a structured fashion that is safe and enjoyable. Outings can be hikes, paddling trips, bike rides and other activities exploring the outdoors. We also do clean-ups and other service projects.
Outing leaders need to be Sierra Club members, at least 18 years old, trained in CPR/First Aid and have skills appropriate to the activity - hiking, paddling, etc. Many outing leaders do one or more outings a month, while some lead outings less frequently. Each outing would require about 6-8 hours to organize and lead.
Information Booth Leader
Looking for people to run Sierra Club information tables for public events. Some of our past events have included Right Whale Festival, Wild Amelia's Nature Fest, and others.
The Booth Leader will coordinate the Nassau Sierra Club information table at events such as these and also research and be the contact for other such events where we could want to have a presence.
We have a small list of volunteers who have helped on past events, so the position would involve staffing the booth with these volunteers and continuing to recruit new volunteers.
We are in the process of designing new displays. Eventually the information booth leader will be responsible for storing these materials between events and coordinating the delivery of the materials to events.
Typically, we exhibit at two major events per year but would like to expand. The leader will be responsible for submitting the exhibitor application for each event and be the contact for events between the event management and with the Nassau Sierra Executive Committee.
Sierra Club Outreach
Outreach person will welcome new members to our group. Send out thank you's to community members that donate space, time, and money to our Group. Work to develop awareness of our Group in Nassau County especially among younger activists who live locally.
Activities may include:
- Outreach activities, including multiple social media channels with a focus on increasing engagement among young people.
- Helping plan and design digital outreach campaigns with the Executive Committee on Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook,etc. in order to post in the most effective ways
- Basic design experience would be helpful
