Bird2Branch affilates serve as chapters that provide local community meet-ups where students can host in-person events for bird conservation and STEM skill-building.

While oriented as an online organization with a huge audience and extensive website, we also place a large emphasis on local communities and support students to meet in person and execute their own ideas to better the cause of bird conservation.

A unique chapter name and community purpose under Bird2Branch.
At least 5 members.
One chapter per school maximum.
Members interested in leadership and running initiatives. Chapters each have a president which leads most events.
Meets at least once per month.
Each chapter will be designated a Slack channel to communicate, organize times to meet, share opportunities, and work on projects together.

Benefits

Leadership experience managing members and hosting initiatives. No prior experience is required.
Certified volunteer hours from a 501(c)(3), important for service awards, school requirements, National Honor Society, and more.
