Join our volunteers

The Sierra Club covering Santa Barbara is welcoming people who want to make a difference for the future of our communities and our planet.

These volunteer positions don't require more than a few hours per month and can be done from home. They could include planning events, communicating with members, and keeping an eye on local government to encourage environmentally friendly transportation initiatives, among others. 

As the nation’s premier environmental group, we rely on volunteer leaders to be active and engaged in these critical areas.

If you love the outdoors, if you want to protect your community and if you want to see the planet remain healthy for future generations, roll up your sleeves and join us!
