The American Birding Association Young Birder of the Year Mentoring Program is designed for youth ages 10–18 years while appealing to a broad range of interests and talents.

Adult Opportunities
-
We are always looking for college students and other young professionals in the conservation/environmental/educational fields to assist the MYBC and act as mentors for the MYBC youth members. This could include leading field trips, giving guest presentations and/or workshops, recruitment and anything else you can think of! In addition to providing valuable assistance to the MYBC, this is a great opportunity to gain leadership experience. If you are interested, please contact us and let us know you are interested in being a MYBC Young Professional volunteer.
You can find out when our next event is by visiting the main MYBC Facebook page and this website!

Our adult volunteers and supporters are vital in keeping us going by leading field trips, maintaining regional chapters, and assisting in a variety of other ways. Adult volunteers are involved in everything from leading a Regional Chapter to simply acting as an adult supervisor during events. No birding experience necessary! If you are interested or have any questions, please contact us and let us know what opportunities you are interested in.
