A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for folks who love the outdoors and want to help our non-profit complete everything from everyday tasks (such as checking the trails, staffing the visitor's center) to more elaborate tasks (creating, maintaining, and/or upgrading exhibits). We also need folks who are good with people to represent our organization at onsite and offsite events- generally one day (4-8 hrs)- to help spread the word about what we do and provide a bit of environmental education too.
Those who have an educational history who are looking for ways to help, can consider becoming a educator for our youth programs. This option requires flexibility, knowledge of pedagogy and Florida's natural resources.

Mission Statement
It is the mission of BOLD to sustain a portion of Florida’s original habitats, in the Little Manatee River Watershed, and to promote appreciation and better understanding of our natural resources, local history and culture through education.
Description
The Camp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center is operated in partnership with Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department. This Center is located in Ruskin, Florida, along the Little Manatee River. It is currently open Thursday- Saturday, 9AM- 2PM. It has been in operation since 1999, through the efforts of volunteers, donations, grants and supporters from all walks of life. We expect to maintain self-sufficiency through programs, donations, grants and membership dues. The 7 -member BOLD Board oversees one volunteer Manager. The Center has the potential to become an outstanding educational center, one that serves the entire population- not just a single school grade or the wealthy or the disadvantaged- everyone who is interested in the world around them: its past, present and ultimately its future.
