Specialty Functions Volunteer Roles

Other Volunteer Opportunities


 PATC has several small, specialized teams that often need volunteers.  These specializations include PA Newsletter Editors, archiving historical records, information technology, conservation, natural resource management, grants, donations and endowment. 


Duties and responsibilities vary.  Archiving work occurs at PATC headquarters. Resource management may include fieldwork.  Most other functions can be accomplished at home. 

Volunteering in Specialty Functions: PATC handles a wide variety of tasks on a day to day basis, which requires a large volunteer base to support full and part time staff. We acknowledge that everyone has a different skill or talent to offer, and we'd love to hear about yours!
