About
Be a Force for the Future. NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council) combines the power of more than 3 million members and online activists with the expertise of some 700 scientists, lawyers, and other environmental specialists to confront the climate crisis, protect the planet's wildlife and wild places, and to ensure the rights of all people to clean air, clean water, and healthy communities.
A note about Social Media: We encourage you to try and use social media platforms that are open sourced and decentralized (like BlueSky or Mastodon). This is a link to a starter pack of organizations that are currently on BlueSky.
What Is Your Organization Suggesting?
The following are actions straight from the NRDC website.
Volunteer
We didn't find volunteer opportunities with NRDC. But it's worth checking their site periodically because things are changing quickly! You can also use Volunteer Match to check if your chosen cause or organization has volunteer openings or memberships.
VolunteerMatch.org
VolunteerMatch believes that volunteering can change lives – starting with yours. When we connect with our communities and each other through service we can find our passion and purpose, build camaraderie and hope, and experience joy and gratitude.

Mobilize is your go-to destination for people-powered movements. We provide nonprofits, labor unions, political campaigns, and grassroots organizers the tech needed to create a more just, inclusive, and democratic world.
