    Description

    The GCBS Volunteer Corp Leadership Program Needs YOU!

    "Lead the Change. Your Vision, Our Mission."

    Are you passionate about making a difference in your community? Do you have the drive to inspire others and lead impactful initiatives? Our Volunteer Corps Leadership Training Program is looking for dedicated individuals ready to step up and shape the future of community service.

    What is the GCBS Volunteer Corps?

    The Garden City Bird Sanctuary, Inc. (GCBS) has a core group of approximately 30 individuals that keep our 9-acre jewel open to the public during our open season (weekends from the end of April to the end of September, 10am-6pm, weather permitting). The Volunteer Corp also beatifies the grounds and helps with events.

    What is the GCBS Volunteer Corps Leadership Training Program?

    This comprehensive program is designed to transform enthusiastic people into effective and inspiring leaders. We equip you with the essential tools, knowledge, and practical experience needed to lead the Volunteer Corp and take us to the next level in environmental stewardship.

    Why Join Our Leadership Program?

      • Skill Development: Master critical leadership skills, including project management, strategic planning, and effective communication.
      • Real-World Impact: Apply your training immediately by leading key volunteer initiatives that directly benefit our community.
      • On The Job Training: No experience? No worries! Learn from seasoned members of GCBS Board of Directors who are invested in your success.
      • Networking and Community Building: Connect with a network of like-minded peers, local non-profit organizations, and community stakeholders. You develop a bond of community among the Volunteer Corp as part of our GCBS family.
      • Make YOUR Ideas a Reality: As a leader, YOU can develop ideas for transforming the GCBS. You are a semi-autonomous subdivision of the Board of Directors. We can implement YOUR ideas!
      • Personal Growth: Unlock your full potential and develop the confidence to take on new challenges and leadership roles in all aspects of your life.
