GET INVOLVED AND VOLUNTEER!

NJMA is always interested in expanding our pool of volunteers that run the club behind the scenes.  We currently have some openings and can always start training for other positions. If you are interested, please use the Contact Us form.
Volunteer Position
Requirements
​Outreach Participant
​We are frequently invited to participate in many community events focused on the environment such as Earth Day or a BioBlitz. At these events, we have a display highlighting the natural role of fungi as well as the diverse activities of our club. It is a wonderful opportunity to talk to interested people. We would love to have new members become involved in these community events. Enthusiasm is more important than expertise. 
Photo Contest Coordinator - Understudy 
​Ability to learn how photo contests are done in-person and how they may be held in the future. The Photo Contest is part of the December Holiday Party.
Fungus Fest Manager
During the pandemic, Fungus Fest may or may not be held.  Fungus Fest requires managing a few dozen club members to pull together this big event.
Cultivation Chairperson
Able to do demonstrations and talks either  at Fungus Fest or at forays.

A typical 2018 Outreach event. A beautiful day (after the rain stopped) and free food! A canopy is used to protect club members from too much sun.
