Volunteer

The Northwest Cook County Group (NWCCG) is managed by volunteers. An executive commitee (ex com) of several elected members meets once a month to plan club events and manage the club’s day-to-day business. Ex com members are elected to one to two year terms by the membership of the group, which is approximately 2,000 members. Ex com meetings are open to all members who are interested in volunteering their time.

The NWCCG needs volunteers for a variety of projects. You can volunteer your time informally by coming to a conservation workday, letter writing party, or simply by baking some cookies for our monthly program meetings. A great way to get started volunteering with the NWCCG is to attend one of our monthly program meetings. Program meetings take place on the second Thursday of each month (except for July and August) at Spring Valley Nature Sanctuary at 1111 East Schaumburg Road (on Schaumburg Road, just west of Meacham Road) in Schaumburg (Yahoo Map). Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. with refreshments and snacks and at 7:30 p.m. we have a guest speaker or special program. Ex com members are present at every meeting and will be happy to talk to you about volunteer opportunities with the NWCCG.

A volunteer interest survey is also available for you to fill out to help you get started volunteering with the NWCCG. The volunteer interest survey is available in a PDF format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat Reader is a free download and is available at www.adobe.com
