Our Volunteers Support Toiyabe Chapter. You Should Too.

 

“I became an active volunteer with the Toiyabe Chapter because I wanted to do something about the central challenge of our time—climate change—something more than just send money or sign a petition. The chapter offers me—and others—the opportunity to evaluate and directly influence environmental policy, working together with smart, informed, and engaged volunteer colleagues and staff.”
~Anne Macquarie, past Chair of the Toiyabe Chapter Executive Committee and transportation activist

“This is the best organization for combating climate change and keeping our public lands available to the people.”
~Peggy McKee, Tahoe Area Group Executive Committee member. 
 

 

“Now having recently moved to Portland, Maine, I can look back on Nevada.  Over many years, I had the opportunity to work with so many environmentally dedicated volunteers there, and I know we made a difference.  This volunteer corps, along with chapter staff, need your donations to further the Sierra Club mission in Nevada; non-tax-deductible donations are especially important to work beyond the constraints faced by most non-profits.”
~David von Seggern, former Toiyabe Chapter Chair and activist.

"The most important issue of our time, climate change, needs strong advocacy to counter the entrenched interests ( mostly the fossil fuel industry and politicians paid off by the fossil fuel industry). The Sierra Club is a fantastic advocacy organization that effectively lobbies for the kinds of solutions that we need to save our biosphere. The staff and volunteers of the Sierra Club are some of the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever worked with.

I am more than happy to contribute my time and donate to this fantastic and essential cause.”
~Bari Levinson, volunteer and donor.

"I volunteer to be as environmentally active as I can.  Since I was born and grew up in this area, I  support protecting the remaining natural resources and open areas for a sustainable, healthy future.”
~Steve Alastuey, volunteer.

“It is a privilege to work as staff for Sierra Club with the Toiyabe Chapter. At Sierra Club, our volunteers have autonomy and decision making power which is transformative in the way we show up for the fights in our state. With that freedom, our volunteers are also able to find their environmental, conservation, or urban niches to make a difference on issues close to their heart.”
~Kait Krolik, Toiyabe Chapter Lead Organizer

“In addition to working on these issues full-time as staff, I donate monthly because it allows me to donate more over time by giving a little bit each month. It's a powerful way to aggregate my smaller gifts into greater power.”
~Brian Beffort, Toiyabe Chapter Director
