Volunteering

There are many ways to volunteer with the USGS.  The Volunteer.gov website is a good starting point for volunteer positions with the United States federal government. However, many USGS volunteer positions are not formally announced, so they do not appear on that site. If you don't have a personal contact with the CM WSC staff; Connect with a Section Chief or the Assistant Director about your interests.

Another way to get involved in USGS science is through one of our Citizen Science programs or partnerships.
