Volunteers

Volunteers Improve Today For Tomorrow

 

NRCS is proud of the dedicated Earth Team volunteers and staff who have committed their time and talents to conserving and protecting our natural resources. Since Congress passed legislation in 1981 permitting NRCS to use volunteers, the Earth Team volunteers have expanded conservation services by utilizing their time, talents, and energy to help NRCS accomplish its mission. 

Earth Team Requirements

Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older and are people like you--professionals, nonprofessionals, retirees, and students-- who are interested in conserving natural resources. Hours can vary from part time to full time. Depending on the project, volunteers accomplish their work during the week day, evenings or on weekends.
