We are committed to community-driven change, so we welcome the feedback of all participants from the board and community advisory council regardless of age, education, or background. If you want to help plan and implement equitable sustainability change through these meetings, please Email us at info@togetherfornatureil.com, and we can work together to improve the reciprocal relationships between people and the environment.

Changemakers for Sustainability Volunteer/Educator

Sustainability education is important to understand our environmental and social conditions and to develop equitable and sustainable solutions. For that reason, we plan programming on sustainability and environmental topics that are culturally sensitive and for children of all ages and adults. We can facilitate a workshop for any organization, community group, or friend group. At the moment, we are working to develop and implement programming to educate underserved communities about sustainable living and how to advocate for equitable sustainability solutions. Together for Nature is excited about and committed to shaping community-driven sustainability programming that supports our communities and environments. If you are interested in helping out in any capacity, email us at info@togetherfornatureil.com.

Mentorship For Sustainability Program Volunteer
The  Mentorship for Sustainability Program strives to involve youth in sustainability efforts and equip them with skills and knowledge that will help them in their academic and professional journeys, preparing them for a green future.  We are especially committed to reducing barriers for underserved youth to participate in nature activities and sustainability change.  Since our mentorship program has been led by dedicated volunteers over the past 3 years, we are continually looking for volunteers that want to help us run the program. We are also always looking for more mentors. Please email info@togetherfornatureil.com if you would like to help us shape and implement the program that has prepared 39+ youth to advance our sustainable future.

​

Community Outreach and Equity Volunteer
Together for Nature is committed to advancing equitable engagement, so we can expand the impacts of our programs to all communities.  We recognize that we have to dedicate more time to ensuring that everyone has access to our programs, and we are looking for volunteers that can help us do outreach regularly. There are regular outreach fairs in our communities during weekdays and weekends, so there are opportunities for anyone to help out. If you like what we do, or if you have benefited from our programs, we would appreciate your support. Help us advance the sustainable impacts of our organization by emailing info@togetherfornatureil.com to sign up.
