WWA’s remarkable impact over four decades is due to the incredible energy and commitment of its volunteers. As a small grassroots organization, WWA creates opportunities for people to use their unique energy and talents to have a significant impact in any of our missions or support functions.
Growing our membership to a level that approaches the 60,000 waterfowlers in the state may be a tall order, but some WWA volunteers enjoy the challenge. They use social media or our widely distributed monthly newsletter to keep members informed while attracting a new audience.
WWA’s volunteers raise hundreds of thousands of dollars every year putting on fun banquets, organizing a raffle or coordinating a sporting clays competition. Your imagination (and state charitable gaming laws) are the limit!
Developing WWA positions on issues important to our members, and persuading state policy makers to adopt supportive positions means WWA volunteers are on the front line of topical, newsworthy happenings
Working in the field at the local level, or assisting with state-wide initiatives, WWA volunteers can “think globally, while acting locally”. Many hands make light wiork too, with the opportunity to carve out your own habitat legacy for the future.
This fun celebration of “all things waterfowl” offers volunteer activities that range from a year-long planning efforts, to a one-day support. Volunteers receive some benefits that include free entry, food and drink, and usually some unique clothing.
Education” is a very broad category with lots of room to create a role that excites you. Volunteers have created science curriculums for middle schoolers (based on the wood duck) to working with local university programs to advance study waterfowl biology, organizing learn to hunts, or writing aricles for our newsletter. The sky’s the limit!
