Current Volunteer Opportunities
SPEC is always eager to work with volunteers who are motivated to make a positive impact on our urban environment. There are many ways to become involved. If you are highly motivated or have a particular idea you'd like to put into motion you might consider joining one or more of our committees by contacting the committee chair. We are also often in need of office, research and writing help from just the right folks.
Other opportunities arise often. Sign up to Become a Volunteer and you'll receive regular volunteer call outs by email.
Listed below are our current opportunities...
