Volunteering

The Southern Group of the Rio Grande Chapter needs volunteers!

Southern Group leaders

The Southern Group needs volunteers! Do you have a few hours to spare every week? Would you like to help our Sierra Club Southern Group protect our own backyard? We need help manning our office space in the Downtown Mall. All you have to do is answer the phone, sometimes make calls for outreach and help make sure we have a presence that our members can find. You can decide when you come and how long you stay, it just needs to be regular. Be an active part of the Club and sign up today! Call Margot Wilson 575-744-5860

New Mexico - Adopt a Legislator Program

Roundhouse - by Dan Lorimier

Our lobbyist is looking for members around the state to "adopt" one of their local state legislators, so that when our important bills come up, these legislators are already familiar with the Sierra Club and its goals.
