Volunteer!
Volunteering with 350 Madison is a rewarding way to spend your time. You do not need to have prior experience in the climate field or even know much about the movement. All you need is a willingness to help and learn. Below are some of our more pressing volunteer positions. If none of these strike your fancy, there are tons of opportunities within each campaign team. If you would like to volunteer for one of these positions or you want to learn more, contact our Volunteer Coordinator at nikki.darga@350madison.org.
