Volunteer
Since SPEC began in 1969, passionate volunteers have been the most valuable part of our identity. Volunteers like you play an important role in our accomplishments.
We offer a variety of opportunities ranging from project research and planning, fundraising, assisting at special events, garden plantings, cleanups, and community outreach.

Team Meetings
Team meetings are the first step to volunteering with SPEC. In our meetings, you will be exposed to the various volunteering opportunities and will be able to share you knowledge and skills, while connecting with others. Our teams help develop many of SPEC’s programs and projects and are always looking for feedback and fresh ideas. Our teams are mostly volunteer-run and occur once a month in the evenings. Meetings are free and open to the public, and we always encourage new community members to join.
Meetings are available for the following teams:
